you have to watch this film through the eyes of a woman... it is the plight of an average looking woman in a world full of attractive people... she is constantly overlooked, used, and abused because both men and women do not find worth in her because of her average looks... in addition, she is attracted to attractive people both men and woman because of their attractiveness... this basic concept, i believe is overlooked in most of my observations in the reviews that have been posted about this film... the film is beautifully filmed with great set design... the dialogue is realistic... the set design is believable... it is painful to watch because it teaches us what our modern society values in men and women...
