What does the film maker say that, like sugar, it is sweet but too much can be a killer?
Society tells us that beautiful women have it all. But beauty can be as much a curse as it is a blessing. Being beautiful doesn't equate to happiness; "Being beautiful is overrated", says the filmmaker. In the film eight women labeled as beautiful consider body image issues through their candid stories of how concepts and realities of physical beauty have shaped their lives in both good ways and bad. Objectification, negative stereotyping, jealousy, insecurity, and vulnerability are prominent themes, as are opportunity and preferential treatment.Kravinsky states: "Beauty making things easier for a woman is a double edged sword." The film looks at how being beautiful affects relationships and self-esteem as well as career. It may be easier for a beautiful woman to find a date or a job, but the film seeks to show that having things come easier creates jealousy and laziness and does not encourage development of the inner beauty that a woman needs as she grows older and her beauty fades.  Kravinsky compares beauty to sugar: it is very sweet, but too much of it can be a killer.
