Should have casted an uglier chick.


Or at least, like make the woman wear a hump on her back.
Then when everyone was like, "Oh, she's piss ugly," it would make sense.

I really like this film, and Devos is a very talented actress... but I agree with you that she's not ugly AT ALL. So when people mentioned how unattractive she was, it would be more believable.

Her way of carrying herself did a good enough job making her look ugly

I don't think she was meant to be "ugly" necessarily; just unattractive (there is a difference). Her frumpy/plain appearance, awkwardness and isolation is what made her unattractive.

The character is not supposed to be ugly, she's an average looking woman that could look very sexy and attractive but her problem that prevents her from doing that is that she has a low self-esteem because of her hearing condition, she is the one who thinks she's not good enough...
