Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It was amazing to me to see the lengths that some will go to in achieving beauty, career and fame. Chasing Beauty was very enlightening to a person that is not in the fashion industry. From the outside, from what we see on the magazine racks, beauty looks natural, that these models were born this way. Unknowing to me was what many of the models achieved naturally, versus unnaturally. From the touched up photoshop images, to permanent surgical alterations to the preying on of the successful and unsuccessful, Chasing Beauty opened my eyes to an industry that is not only a billion dollar institution, but an ingrained part of our society. This film started off on the positive side, showing what these models achieve and the glamour that comes with it. I was taken back by the model who came out from Kansas City to make it here in L.A. and really thought she would make it big. I appreciated the shift in the documentary to be balanced and show some of what these models go through to achieve fame, many times sacrificing to get into an industry that rarely views them as simply nothing more than a commodity for hire. Overall, it was wonderfully filmed and told the story of the good bad and the ugly of the high fashion modeling industry.

While very depressing at times, this films makes a successful attempt to peel back the onion of runway and fashion modeling. In doing so it reveals the sobering reality of how difficult it is to make it in this industry; but also how hard work and motivation (sprinkled with a pinch of luck) can indeed pay off! Chasing Beauty is bold, beautiful, and shocking, but there's enough here to satisfy anyone's curiosity. This is a good watch for aspiring models, their parents and support network; fashion photographers and anyone else with an interest in this subject. It could easily work as an educational prop for support organizations and educational institutions.

Great job Brent!!! **** Very engaging**** I loved how the movie was sincere, bold, genuine & educational. The movie exposes a raw truth for males & females; about how great & hard the climb to being a model is. I learned a few things involving the extremes models are willing to go through to fight their hunger or keep a certain size. One model didn't get her "period" until her twenties because she was so thin. I didn't know that was possible. This movie gave really good insight to the beauty industry. With every dream you face risks & other options to take but it's up to us to keep moving in a good direction. I'm looking forward to Brent's next movie. ~G

Chasing Beauty was an honest and real look into what the modeling world is really like. Sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes it's crazy. Sometimes it totally sucks. Sometimes it's really weird. Sometimes it's all luck and timing. There are so many factors that make a model a success or not and it often has little to do with looks and beauty. At the end of the day, we are all "Chasing Beauty". I love the honesty and purity of this film's message. It wasn't all dark and drama, nor was it all glam and glitz. It's informative. It's factual. And it's quite funny! To everyone out there who wants to be a model, you want to watch this. And to everyone else, you'll still enjoy this film. Kudos to the Chasing Beauty Film Team!
