Acclaimed British filmmaker Mike Leigh wrote the script for this satire of 1970s suburban England.
Reasons to Be Pretty, which opens this weekend at San Francisco Playhouse, is written by a man and follows a male character, yet its subject is womanhood, at least as our society defines it: how a woman's beauty is perceived, and the consequences... More »
