About Real Women Have Curves
In East Los Angeles, an 18-year-old struggles between her ambitions of going to college and the desires of her domineering mother for her to get married, have children, and oversee the small, rundown family-owned textile factory.
Directed by Patricia Cardoso, Real Women Have Curves leans on a strong ensemble — America Ferrera, Lupe Ontiveros, Ingrid Oliu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2002.
