Real Women Have Curves (2002)

"Real Women Have Curves" is a coming-of-age drama about a young woman. She's caught between family expectations and her own sense of self in Los Angeles. America Ferrera anchors the film in a breakout performance. It put her on the map early on. The archive carries 1 scene from the movie. It's a quietly bold moment where Ferrera bares all on screen. It's a stripped-down beat that gives the film's body-image themes real weight.
