The cinematography impresses right from the start, with exquisite use of color, striking sets and costumes. The performances are good, but the movie as a whole suffers from irregularities. The story deals with deep themes, such as madness and the obsession with beauty and the effects of oppressive aesthetic standards, exploring the emotional and aesthetic impact of the quest for unnecessary plastic surgery. It also highlights how fame can distort one's sense of reality, generating a multi-layered obsession with control. Despite this thematic complexity, the film loses strength due to its narrative structure. The pace is draggy, with excessively long scenes that dilute the intensity of the plot. Surreal sequences, visual metaphors and theatrical nuances, although interesting at times, end up sounding exaggerated and tiresome. The ending is also overly explanatory, limiting reflection. Despite these structural problems, the narrative presents intriguing ideas that could have been explored in a more balanced way to achieve a greater impact.
