What it lacks is narrative progression. Instead of evolving its ideas, it often circles around them. By the time the film reaches its later stages, the emotional impact has been dulled by repetition.”The review further added, “Ugly Story is undoubtedly committed to its premise and unafraid of difficult emotions. But while it succeeds in making viewers feel trapped inside its characters’ emotional chaos it struggles to transform that discomfort into a consistently compelling cinematic experience.”
