Movie Recommendation: 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓤𝓰𝓵𝔂 𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓹𝓼𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻
Watched this movie recently called 'The Ugly Stepsister' and it’s retelling of the Cinderella story (from the ugly stepsister’s perspective obviously). It’s a black comedy but it also works well as a strong feminist piece. It’s not for everyone! I will say that but it’s message about how dangerous the convention of "perfect physical beauty" can be to women who both do and don’t fall into that category - the Cinderella character Agnes is put through all sorts of grief because she is beautiful and her stepsister Elvira is put through all kinds of medieval torture to become "beautiful"💔 Personally I found the whole thing to be very moving, but that’s just me 🤷🏼♀️
