| Description |
An expressionist comedy with a very dark theme, Material Girls takes a scalpel to the politics of plastic surgery and the impossibility of the Western female beauty ideal. Gina Dobbs and her sister Hayley endure their mother's well-meaning criticism and competitive behaviour until the arrival of their seemingly perfect cousin Greta. Greta's charm and beauty seem to throw Gina and Hayley's human imperfections into harsh relief. When Greta steals the boy that Gina has a crush on, Gina spirals into self-destruction - but the tables turn on Greta, and it's revealed that the perfect woman has some |
