See more Jennifer A @RT04999053 Sep 23, 2023 Driven by the need to stay competitive at work, a stripper undergoes BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) procedure despite the health risk it poses on her. When she eventually ends up in a shady cosmetic surgery practice, she must instead fight for her life. Clinic is a 2023 thriller directed by Aleshia Cowser Jackson. It is fast paced, harrowing, and in true Get Out fashion, laced with some really pointed social commentaries. The film offers a searing look at the world of cosmetic surgery, especially the uber controversial BBL. It offers some topical discussion about the pros and cons (largely the latter) of cosmetic procedure, especially the root causes and the social phenomenon around it. In the movie, the film's argument for BBL is illustrated by the main character wanting to boost her self confidence and keep up with the physical demand of her job. This is true in real life, where people who struggle with body image can improve their self esteem by improving their body. It also makes a case for people with deformities, allowing them to regain their dignity. On the other side, the film delves into the dark side of BBL: the health risk, how it exacerbates body dysmorphia disorder – a mental health problem that really could be treated more safely with clinical testing, the high rate of suicidal thoughts following the procedures, not to mention the long-term effect that could only be seen years down the line. The commentaries feel really well researched, with humane discussions about the radical changes it does to people. This aspect of the movie is certainly more intriguing than the psychopathic murder rampage side of the story. Although, that plotline eventually shows its more poignant side, yet another commentary on the danger of cosmetic procedure taken to extreme measure. See more Read all reviews
