Beauty Mark

Well here's a fun movie about en extremely irresponsible woman who does everything she shouldn't to try and fix her situation. She expects everyone to do back flips to help her and throw money at her. Tries to tackle several issues, probably too many. Fails to adequately explore any of them in the process. Acting and cinematography is overall very good even though the roles of characters are woefully cliche. An ultimately forgettable viewing experience.

In all I think the actors did a really good job but I feel like there are a lot of movies using this same topic and therefore it's becoming over saturated with the same topic especially in independent films and it's getting ridiculous whenever every movie you check out is basically the same and I feel that it's getting really old but I do give it to the lead actress she definitely gave a very strong performance and I feel given some better opportunities she will definitely go on to shine I just didn't agree with the choices that her character was making at all and to the writers and directors I think y'all have rode this out long enough.

Each time I watch this film, I find something new. This important story about abuse and taking back your power even when the odds are against you is fabulously acted and deftly directed!

Having lived in the area where Beauty Mark was filmed when I was a child, the film really touched my heartstrings as it was spot on about the sacrifices one makes for their family and the abuse that is prevalent. Harris Doran did a fantastic job writing and producing the film. The casting of Auden Thorton, Catherine Curtin, Laura Bell Bundy and Jeff Kober added to the awesome performance. It provides encouragement for victims of abuse to speak up. This is definitely a "must see".

It's incredibly intense, so definitely buckle up and have a light-hearted comedy queued up to start right after - but if you're looking for a tough, important story that's incredibly well-told and crafted, definitely check this one out and spread the word. Thornton turns in what should be a career-making performance and Cathy Curtin's no slouch either. Laura Bell is outstanding if not a little underused, leaves you wanting even more of her.
