      Maggie Lee Variety No amount of nipping and tucking can save this screenplay from its tonal inconsistencies and mixed messages. Apr 23, 2014 Full Review Andrew Heskins easternKicks.com Writer/director Aubrey Lam's savvy-scripted dissection of the plastic surgery phenomenon in China... Rated: 4/5 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist The Truth About Beauty presents a very honest and, though exaggerated, rather accurate perspective on the realities of modern Asia, where the social pressure to conform to a singular perception of beauty has existed for centuries.

      Audience Member (2014/12/20/web) Baihe Bai.... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member mildly entertaining rom-com featuring a very charming and beautiful baihe bai. however, misfires in an undercooked romance, a ronald cheng lead, a mixed overall message, and a surprisingly sexist director/writer. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
