"Beauty is a cage and can become a bird"
What caught my attention is the topic: Beauty pageants. You think you know it all but as you see the process every contestant go through, their story, their background, challenges, you empathize with them. There are explicit scenes on how they're treated as victims of abuse of power, discrimination, sexism.
Of course this is from a female point of view, there are women who are against each other as most of us would believe, you could even notice the influence of sexist behavior in the matriarch, and to be honest I wouldn't have believed this mentality back in the 90's but I loved how all of them support each other to cover a crime. They find their strenght in each other even with the world against them.
I don't want to go deep in the whole political patriarchy context so overall I really liked the way these women are trying to be heard to be seen, as human beings. People in power can really either hinder your dreams or make them come true.
I recommend for you to watch it and draw your own conclusions.
