Review of The Mirror Has Two Faces

The movie s riddled with cliches, but it addresses something rarely discussed. Beautiful people enjoy countless advantages in society, but furthermore, in current times dominated by the media, standards of beauty and concepts of true love are constantly manipulated and homogenized for commercial purposes. Jeff Bridges' character gives a tremendous summary of this problem, which according to him, prevents people from finding meaningful relationships as they try to hold on to false aspirations to youth, beauty and sex appeal. Still, both he and Barbra's character only fall in love with beautiful people. Jeff Bridges is gorgeous, and his character establishes a relationship with Barbra because he deliberately chooses her because she is unattractive and he can prove his theories on the subject. The movie still stumbles to offer a compassionate view of people who manage to fall in love. No matter its flaws, this movie contains a masterful performance by Lauren Bacall. Do not miss it!
