Anastasiia Pustovit calls for authentic female characters in Ukrainian cinema

Actress Anastasiia Pustovit criticizes the film industry's beauty standards, noting a trend of overly thin female characters. She argues that these idealized portrayals, often influenced by weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, do not reflect the reality of women's experiences during wartime, which includes stress and fatigue. Pustovit desires more authentic characters on screen, embracing imperfections like under-eye bags and wrinkles to better represent real life.
