A new documentary examines the reality series that gave contestants extreme makeovers before entering them into a beauty pageant. Critics, including a New Yorker review, argue the film fails to confront the cruelty of the original show or fully reckon with the harm done to its participants, reigniting debate about the ethics of the makeover format.
Why now: The documentary's release has renewed criticism of the original show's treatment of contestants and the film's reluctance to address it.
