Nappily Ever After

This isn't a movie just about hair. This movie is about a women who finds herself. It's a movie based on upon the deconstruction of African-American women fitting in to societal standards of what beauty is. The hair is a metaphor for African-American women who continuebeing someone they are not. By cutting her her she found out more about herself and her culture/ancestral roots. She freed all worries, stress, and anxieties that has been placed upon her shoulders. It's similar to the song by India.Arie "I am not my hair."

This was so well put together, Sanaa usually wows and as usual this is no different. The spark between the lead roles was so well acted out that a relationship was built with every single character it was a master piece. Wish we could see more films like this.

This story is about obedience and obssession. When you take one away. How do you cope? This is a simple story about a girl who learnt from her Mother the importance of hair and appearance which was affected by the environment you find yourself in. This a very enjoyable film. Simple message and no clunkers.

Extraordinary film that talk about all the uncomfortable issues of our societies, anywhere.

I watched the film without knowing anything about it, and i was impacted for the sensibility of all the things that show. I was curious about who was behind this netflix production, and i was right thinking it was a brave and great woman.

Haifaa Al-Mansour has made few films but it is the kind of films it should more made. I am tired of finding empty and stupid films without values, without sense... pretentious and expensive, waste of money and time.

This production may connect with all cultures and countries, it has an universal feeling, that claim for the authenticity, and the simple things beyond the conventionalism and rules that chain our lives.

Dare!

A great movie about how women turn themselves inside out trying to be perfect and the empowerment we can find when we finally just let ourselves be who we truly are. The beautiful and talented Sanaa Lathan is superb in this role. She's funny, sassy, vulnerable and achingly real. This movie is very relatable to any woman who has ever struggled with self-esteem issues and/or had her heart broken by love, and that would probably be all of us. Highly recommended.
