Review of Funny Face

Funny Face (1957)
1/10
Hollywood at its then-worst
13 October 2020
A film that minutes in unwittingly reveals how every word and scene will be nothing but pretend clever, constantly mocking the themes it claims to "uphold". A film that ridicules everything of substance beyond the US grasp of "reality", while sacrificing anything woman at the altar of story. Harassments and attempted assault are blaimed on the female lead herself - by her own words, no less. This one can not be blamed for "its time" - it is a blatant failure of script and purpose, which the reviews of its time also lamented. Reviews from outside the US publicity machine, that ia.
