The Model digs into the sexual-political economy of Paris fashion through the experience of Emma (Danish model Maria Palm in her acting debut), a naive teen alone in a foreign land, chasing her dreams of fame and fortune.

The bodies are thin in the Danish film "The Model" and so is the plot, though the real-life model who plays the lead role acquits herself well enough.

3.5/4

The film unapologetically warns us at every turn that fashion is nothing but a business, fueled by naivet and rape.

The Model is one of those films you can't seem to take your eyes off. It had me engaged throughout the ugly, sexy and suspenseful parts.

D-

Takes its classic melodramatic premise and almost goes out of its way to cram it full of stale tropes while making sure that nothing original or unique is said.

Highly recommended to anti-fashionistas for its unblinking look at the stench beneath the couture.

Goes to show how sh*ty the model industry is.

Crash and burn story of a young woman in the fashion industry. Left more to be desired. Weak story. Stereotyped male roles. Very obviously aimed at the bewildered and confused world of young women who so often pin their hopes and dreams on making it as a fashion model.
