About More Beautiful
The film looks at attractiveness as a spectrum that includes every body size, age, and skin tone. It follows a circle of women and men who feel the pressure to look right, act right, and be seen as desirable. Instead of chasing a flawless pose, the characters test what happens if the need to perform beauty loosens its grip. They question why so much energy goes into being heard, while the world seems slow to listen. Set in a modern city, the story blends comedy, romance and warmth to ask whether people who care about their own truth can still connect across differences. The result is a celebration of real attraction and honest conversation over glossy spectacle. The characters span diverse backgrounds, and their conversations feel like a window into common human desires.
Directed by Karoline Herfurth, this contemporary comedy drama romance builds on Monika Faesslers original concept and features a strong ensemble led by Herfurth as Sonja, with Anneke Kim Sarnau, Emilia Schuele, Nora Tschirner, and Dilara Aylin Ziem in key roles. The film balances humor with emotional honesty, framing romance as a shared challenge rather than a performance.
Worldwide box office is 14,523,318 dollars, signaling solid international interest in a language driven ensemble drama. Its release across multiple markets shows cross cultural appeal and a willingness to tackle intimate topics with humor and humanity.
Critics praise its warm ensemble and candid look at body image and voice in relationships. The film treats sex appeal as a personal choice and argues for honest conversation as a path to connection rather than performance. It blends light comedy with thoughtful drama and a hopeful tone.
Culturally, the movie has sparked conversations about body positivity, consent, and listening as a pair. It adds to a growing set of stories that mix humor with social commentary about how we relate across differences, while keeping the mood optimistic and humane.
