Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 10/12/2017
Though the film's running time could have used a little nip-tuck, "Nose" offers a candid look at the lengths and risks a host of funny ladies past and present have taken to make peace with their punims. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 10/08/2017
Kron calls out Hollywood on its double standard. Yet like many of her subjects, she sees that there's no fighting it; as standup comedian Julie Halston puts it, "Beauty's still the thing that people want most from women." Go to Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture 10/06/2017

alan g @agenser 01/05/2025 Makes fun of people who are traumatized by their appearance and unfunny. See more 01/21/2018 In full disclosure, I am one of the plastic surgeons in the film who comments on the effect of childhood trauma on body image and the drive to plastic surgery. Except for a few clips, however, I had nothing else to do with the movie. Joan Kron has done something unique in this film, and that is to go behind the surface motivations and technical aspects of plastic surgery and start to uncover what the sense of deformity really means to people. It is a sensitive and accurate look at the human side of plastic surgery, until now almost totally missed in the media. Like any real story about real people it is poignant, moving, and funny. If you want to get a look at what plastic surgery really is and does for patients, this documentary is your way in. Mark Constantian, MD See more 10/09/2017 THIS FILM IS SO MUCH FUN! don't miss it! See more 10/09/2017 A smart and witty look at Body Image, Comedy and Women in Hollywood! Loved it for all the insight it gives us about the mythology of plastic surgery. See more Read all reviews
