Lilico is seen as a representation of ultimate beauty. She's basically a woman every teenage wants to be like. Behind her flawless image, her beauty is achieved through numerous painful cosmetic surgeries and she's actually a very insecure and mean woman that treats everyone in her life terribly. The pressure slowly builds once she discovers the side effects of the surgeries leave marks on her body, while there's a new young beautiful woman taking her spotlight. I'm still not sure if I like it or not. But I did find some enjoyment while watching it. The film is surreal and visually striking with extravagant sets and costumes. However there is a very little substance in this film. It wants to comment on celebrity and beauty worship but I'm suprised how shallow and uninventive it is. It doesn't offer anything new about these themes and if it does, it's only surface level. For over 2 hours long, this film doesn't provide much in terms of progression. The investigation part is undercooked and overall doesn't do much to the story. Also I feel like they don't really know how to end the film. I guess being visually interesting with very little substance is kind of the point of this after all.
