Beauty Mark is a powerful film. It brings a heart-breaking story to life with a thoughtful, nuanced script, compelling direction and masterful acting. The characters are absolutely real on the screen, complete with flaws that make them more sympathetic. The film could easily have been filled with caricatures and tropes, but it is not. It brings you into the lives of people who have been dealt difficult hands and leaves you feeling for them deeply. While the film progressed, I was enmeshed in the story, gripped with curiosity, wondering where its unpredictable path would lead as I rooted for Angie, the protagonist. During the credits, released from the tension of the story line, I broke down with empathy for Angie and the realization of how many people's lives resemble hers more than mine.I count my blessings and I highly recommend this film.
... View MoreI loved the film. The writing, the acting, composition/craft and the messages in it were extremely powerful. Auden Thornton and Catherine Curtin deliver impactful, stirring performances and the rest of the cast delivers strongly. Highly recommended.
... View MoreBeauty Mark has left a lasting impression on me - the way I view the world today versus before I saw the film. Yes it stirs all of the emotions. It is sad, funny, unbelievable but true, makes you mad, makes you feel helpless and then it thrills you with relief. You could hear a pin drop throughout the entire film. It touches your heart, your mind and your soul. I was not the only one touched - everyone I talked to afterwards had something good to say about the film. The script is intriguing. The actors and actresses are professional and life like. And overall it is a MUST and NEED to see FILM.
... View MoreFast-paced and disturbingly real this film kept me engaged throughout. It brought me from anger to tears without being overly dramatic or sentimental but by being honest and faithful to Angie's struggle.
