[Director] Roberts has a point of view, yes, but he also has a curiosity that drives him and the movie. Lucky are those who go along for the ride.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Rating: 2/4 --
Despite the occasional flash of insight, and a few semi-shocking factoids, most women are going to find this movie roughly as illuminating as a remedial math class might be for a Nobel-prize winning physicist.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film's examination of our beauty-obsessed culture--however familiar--remains unfortunately necessary.

America the Beautiful provides plenty of food for thought, and Roberts' passion for the subject shines through.
Seattle Times
Rating: 5/5 --
trenchant but not mean-spirited and often hilarious. Roberts approaches the subject with an attitude that is genuinely inquisitive, often bemused, and sometimes shocked, but never judgmental, at least not in his interviewing style

Perhaps in future exposes Roberts will uncover that ice is cold and furnaces hot.

Product Description:
While 2008's BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER* focused on men's body issues and steroids, this documentary turns its cameras on women's self image and plastic surgery. AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL tries to get to the root of the nation's desire for physical perfection, and the lengths that people will go to achieve that impossibly high standard. In its quest for answers, this film from director Darryl Roberts features interviews with Eve Ensler, Ted Casablanca, Anthony Kiedis, and other notable personalities.
