The story follows a young girl, Celina, who, at puberty, begins to suffer exclusion from her friends and tries to do everything to please everyone. However, she discovers that this is not how things work.
This film hits home. It's so realistic in portraying the type of situation that Celina handles. This film is one that many young people should see, because of the script and the story. It teaches a lot. I like this film so much that I don't see any downsides, only positives, which I want to bring up here. I love the plot development from seeing Celina happy until the moment her life changes. It is impressive to see this, because when you watch it you felt all her emotions. The camera work is quite good; I really paid attention to every camera angle and found them interesting. There are close-ups that clearly show the kids' facial expressions and long shots that give us a view of her in her surroundings. The costumes are very typical for pre-teens and each one matches the personality of the character. Some are more extravagant than others, just like how the girls behave. More attention is put on the development of the protagonist, Celina, whose behavior changes due to the bullying. My favorite part is when Celina is with her friends after school and they start solving girly issues.
The film's message is that you need to develop self-love and not care that much about what other people say about you, and let your own happiness fulfill you.
I give Such A Pretty Face 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Anna Clara B., KIDS FIRST!
