While the glitz and glamour are certainly present, the film occasionally drifts into cliché territory. Pietro Daviddi's direction has its moments, but it lacks the emotional punch that could have elevated the narrative. The character of Patrizia Mirigliani is well-portrayed, and her determination shines through, yet the supporting characters often feel underdeveloped. The film does raise important questions about beauty standards, but it doesn't always provide satisfying answers. It’s an enjoyable watch for those curious about the behind-the-scenes of pageantry, but it may leave some viewers wanting more depth and engagement with its themes. Show less
