Twiggy
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (out of 5)
Short Take: The phrase originated in the film industry and means a short recording or "something that only takes a short time," especially if a longer version may be done later.
Short Take review: A short review of a scarier film with potential discussion points
Summary: Twiggy may not be a name familiar to recent generations as the face of 1966. Her unique look and attitude connected with a generation and changed the modelling like no other. As a 16-year-old from the less-than-proper side of London, the waif would come to define the term "It Girl." Her iconic look and youthful vigour captured a generation, which was discovered by Daily Express journalist Deirdre McSharry and became an overnight sensation. Lesley Hornby (Twiggy) would go on to have a successful career in music, film, stage and television, taking advantage of her gift for finding new ways to define each era she travelled through.
Review: Audiences will be taken behind the curtain of the legendary modern life by director Sadie Frost (Quant). Her relationships and career trajectory would never have been believed by the teenager from north-west London. The multi-talented woman shows why she has managed to maintain her fans' adoration and will win over a new generation throughout this narrative of her life. A model who would go on to define a generation and prove that there is more to her influence than mere looks. The heartbreak and highlights can be experienced as fans walk through the life of the icon, Twiggy.

REEL DIALOGUE: What about fame?
There are numerous films and books about the rise and fall of stars from a variety of fields. It allows audiences to see the very human experiences of these individuals who spend various lengths of time in the public eye. The public's interest can stem from placing these individuals on a pedestal throughout their careers, only to see the human side of life after fame. To a lesser degree, we all experience this as we progress through life. Success can come in the form of sport, academics, business or in other endeavours, but how do we deal with the lower points in life?
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:10
The issue comes down to where we place our worth and identity. Suppose you put your trust in the accolades of others and in the achievement of goals. In that case, this will lead to eventual disappointment and depression. As seen throughout the Bible and in the words of James, the solution is to place your trust in the Lord for your worth. If all you do is done for the honour of the Lord, regardless of how mankind responds to it, you will be encouraged by God. Even though the good and bad times will come, the Lord's support will be the constant that can sustain you.
