Sometimes can be with more intensity in countries devoted to make little girls transcend into beauty contestant. In the USA are children beauty pageants, in Latin America are group dedicated to literally sculpt women to perfection, in order to become potentially contestants beauty pageants In the film "3 Beauties" - Tres Bellezas Director Carlos Caridad breaks the "status quo" with a dark comedy about a mom, her two daughters and son in the obsession about beauty, perfection and success. Perla (Diana Peñalver) is a ex beauty queen, her plan is make one of the her daughters a beauty queen as well. Carolina (Fabiola Arace) is her favorite. This is very noticeable from the very beginning of the story. Mom wants Carolina to be the special one, the potential is Venezuela, but on the other side Estefanía is putted away as the less beautiful. Perla's son Salvador (Fabían Moreno) is probably the most important in the story, he is the man of the house, but thanks to this chaotic dramatic triangle of beauty queens he is none. Carlos Caridad directs a story that connects the audience thanks to several cultural nuance of Venezuela, but also with very dry and smart humor, following the footsteps of films like Wild Tales, In Bruges, Bad Santa, Submarine and Art School Confidential. 3 Beauties appeal to this humor to show you how far a mother can go to fulfill her own dreams of to make one of her daughter a beauty contestant. The film criticize the system of how beauty pageants works, Carlos Carded dare to compare it to an actual cult, but bringing the characters into actual cult when a sudden event in the story brings the family together The Universal Church - Stop Suffering. The film is fun a pretty entertaining, and sometimes controversial. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
