En el despiadado mundo del comercio del arte de las artes plásticas, Josephina (Zawe Ashton) encuentra por accidente un auténtico tesoro: tras fallecer, un viejo artista clandestino deja tras de sí una maravillosa colección de cuadros con el deseo expreso de que éstos fuesen destruidos tras su muerte. Decidida a sacar buena renta de ellos, Josephina comienza a exponerlos ante los ojos de algunos de los pesos pesados de la industria que la rodean, incluyendo a su jefa Rhodora (Rene Russo), al crítico de arte (y amante ocasional) Morf (Jake Gyllenhaal), y a algunos de los coleccionistas de arte más voraces del mercado, como Bryson (Billy Magnussen) y Gretchen (Toni Collette). Aunque la obra del artista logra la admiración del público, también despierta algo imperceptible y siniestro que amenaza con castigar a aquellos que se han beneficiado de su trabajo.

What do they tell us about what a good life looks like in contemporary America? This new film based on Katherine Sender's book The Makeover explores these questions against the backdrop of American ideals of self-invention and upward mobility. Asking what it means to be an authentic self in an increasingly mediated world -- to be both ordinary and special, to be happy with who we are while always wanting something better -- Brand New You shows how the interventions featured in makeover shows, from weight loss to cosmetic surgery, reproduce conventional norms of physical attractiveness and success.
