Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but I thought this was a great horror film. It captured some of the horror that makes us uneasy, but we fail to acknowledge on a daily basis.
The setting for this movie is the modeling industry, where participants schmooze with the powerful hoping to find their break. Without spoiling too much, I'll just summarize by saying the industry is shown to be competitive, cutthroat, and superficial.
One fashion designer tells a model that "true beauty is the highest currency in this world." He even points out the hypocrisy of an amateur photographer who disagrees. Though all the girls are beautiful, the main character quickly rises to the top. Though she initially stated she had no talent, she later admits that she knows other girls wish they could one day be a second-rate version of her.
The ending is by far the best part. After the models eat their "friend," Gigi starts to feel queezy, ultimately throwing up an eyeball and stabbing herself to death. Without much hesitation at all, the remaining friend eats the eyeball and continues with her career.
