No I haven't it's about stupid evil men who abuse their wives.
It's about ignorance and uglifying women who apparently pride themselves on their beauty.
It's about poor people. It's about those who are less fortunate than us.
It's about how people who are more fortunate than them help the less fortunate get back on track/ life, help em recover, do deals with plastic surgeons to repair their wasted/disfigured skin.

What part makes you want to watch it?

I was ready to puke when i watched the extended trailer. Yuck.

But these things do happen in our society so we can't bury our head in the sand and pretend that they don’t exist

I want to watch it because it won an oscar
