Perfection

Disconnected from any sense of reality, unfortunately. I'm not saying the issues aren't real, but the way they're portrayed here doesn't translate well. Nobody is remotely interesting or likeable in this movie, or worthy of garnering any sympathy. The mother is simply annoying, and that's only when she's not being unbearable. The whole relationship between mother/daughter is forced, flat and insincere. Could kinda see things coming way off. While trying to be dark and edgy it only succeeds as being drab and lifeless. The Brit, who's supposed to be some kind of light comic relief or something, served no purpose whatsoever. How about reality? Mom has a convertible and can afford platic surgery at every whim, but doesn't seem to ever get off the couch. The main character, who also directed, shows glimpses of talent but never blossoms into anything more than a robot. Her acting ability seems to have flatlines with Suburbia, but there her persona fit in with the film's context perfectly. All peripheral charaters and sub-plots are annoying as well, go nowhere, and don't add to the story at all. Cliches. Morons. Bad music. Token minority characters. T's all here. Good luck enduring this stew of festering manure.
