Beautopia Reviews:
Question 
2002-09-17 - This Documentary was interesting, my question is
Does anyone have an update on these Models???
Will there be a Beautopia 2???
Behind the smiles 
2002-02-06 - Many girls dream of becoming models, but perhaps if you showed them this video they would change their minds. The girls are young, most of them about 16. The four main characters are stunning, two are winners of modeling contests in foreign countries and sent to Manhattan to seek their fortunes. However, once in NYC they are lost in a sea of literally thousands of supermodel hopefuls. The suspence is in seeing whether or not they will claw their way up or if they will be sent back home poorer and disillusioned.
You watch them pretend to be big girls in the harsh Manhattan fashion world. At points they're crying, homesick, struggling through language barriers, and worrying about financial uncertainties. In the hopes of eventually getting paying work, they shell out hundreds each month on high rent and photographs to promote themselves. Everyday they pound the pavement interviewing with potential clients only to be rejected and insulted time and time again.
This documentary explores the dark depths of this shallow world and I recommend it to anyone who ever dreamed of being adored for being pretty.
Rocks the Face of the Modeling World
2000-10-04 - I have to say that I was skeptical of this movie and its topic. However, I found it an interesting sociological view of 20th century culture. It covers the modeling craze and many young girls' aspirations in different marketing enivronments and different worlds. Amazing!
