🎬 Uglies (2024) Set in a chilling dystopian future where everyone undergoes mandatory cosmetic surgery at age sixteen to achieve “perfection,” Uglies follows the journey of Tally Youngblood, a teenager eagerly awaiting her transformation.

In a world where conformity is enforced and individuality erased, the “Pretties” live a glamorous life, while those who resist remain “Uglies,” isolated from society.

When Tally’s friend Shay decides to run away rather than submit to the surgery, Tally faces a life-altering decision that forces her to question everything she’s been taught. Drawn into a hidden world of rebels who refuse to conform, she discovers the dark secrets underlying her society’s obsession with beauty and begins to fight back against a system that values appearances over authenticity. Suspenseful, thought-provoking, and vividly crafted, Uglies explores the dangers of a perfection-obsessed culture and the power of self-acceptance in a society that pressures everyone to be the same.
