Skincare (2024)


Loosely based on a true story, successful L.A. aesthetician Hope Goldman suspects her rival neighboring business of sabotage. Beginning with her accounts getting hacked and her reputation tarnished, she is continually stalked and harassed, leading to a loss of valuable clientele and a spot on the local news. The police prove to be useless, so at the risk of losing her entire company stake, she endeavors to take matters into her own hands.
I thought this was decent enough for a "true crime" thriller, although it became clear to me who was pulling the strings through simple process of elimination. For the record, Elizabeth Banks's skin looks incredible for 50. I'd buy that for a dollar.

2½ touch-ups out of 5
