Bright and imaginative in its approach to its subject, PERFECT IMAGE? exposes stereotypical images of Black women and explores their own ideas of self-worth. Using two performers who constantly change their personae, the film poses questions about how Black women see themselves and each other and the pitfalls that await those who internalize the search for the “perfect image.”
