Review: A kind of "indie" documentary, “Girl Model” makes its point regarding the business of model agencies throughout the world. The movie is centered in Nadya, a 13 year-old girl from Siberia, who after passing a first casting, is sent to Japan to do some jobs. Once there, nothing went as promised and her dreams, also shared by her family, fell apart. Other protagonist is Ashley Arbaugh, who tells us how she became a scout for modeling industry and how she isn’t proud for working in this field. Very honest woman, although being unable to quit a pretty profitable job.
