The beauty treatments women endure to fit normative feminine standards are violent in ways rarely recorded. La Bonita is an essential allegory about aesthetics that asks the audience to sit through a series of procedures, from fake nail removal to permanent makeup application to bikini waxing, and to sit with the accompanying pain that goes far beyond the physical. Angie Driscoll
