UGH! Tepid tempest in a teapot
22 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie centers on Mccabe's fascination with plastic surgery (she just can't let the memory of her father go) - and also her own fears of aging and whether she will end up like her father's patients, wanting to look young.

Well, it's all for naught - all that happens is that we hear testimony from people who have had surgery and why they did it, in particular one woman who is obsessed but who becomes friendly with the filmmaker (we're supposed to feel this portrait is more intimate than the others I guess).

Anyway, eventually the filmmaker herself starts wondering what she would have done - but in the end, the movie needs more surgery than Mitch will (although some might disagree with that assessment).

Saw this at a preview in New York: the audience was like WTF?
