The Ugly Stepsister

In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty determines status and opportunity, a young woman competes with her beautiful stepsister for a prince’s attention. Pressured by family expectations, financial worries, and impossible standards, she pursues a painful transformation that tests how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy dark fairy-tale retellings, unsettling body horror, and sharp critiques of beauty standards, especially films with a slow-burn approach like The Substance; Not for you if graphic gore or adult content is a concern.
