"I don't want to meet others like me."
-"Why?"
"Because I hate me"
I honestly had no high expectations to be completely honest but this was surprising. It is a really good coming of age story, that has a very unique twist on the whole not fit in Athough it follow the same tropes, it does feel fresh, and exciting mainly because of the direction, which is honestly really good. it is veryentertaining and enjoyable and have a very universal message, and it is very heartwarming and beautiful with gorgeous cinematography. The performances by the cast are great and it has a very wholsome and beautiful ending. The first act is a bit rushed but the 2nd and 3rd act are really great.

This is a touching story about a boy who tries to navigate a very hard life. It's not as bleak as it could be, which is a good thing.
An unusual tale with unexpected turns. Good acting and a story to make you think.
Special kids means special properties, means strange action to reaction, and most of all a film about being different and not looking like the a4-format that people expects.
its a case of severe hyperhirsotism that has struck the main caracter, its a gene-defect-syndrome, that makes the hair grow everywhere and that is actually from day one. its a rare disease but nevertheless its real, and them have to live a life among us sorthaired for the rest of their lives, even though this film have a fun and a sad anglification, where going bananas seems allright, so its a reminder to all of us that life aint easy.
i think this film was a bit slow and lame, nothing new genericaly, but the production design and make up artists has done a good job, and the lightworks are excellent..acting are as average as expected, and i feel that the caracterbuilding was abit slim.
but its a nice film without profanity or sex or nudity, so it may be a sort of caracterbuilder for small kids as a familydrama. the grumpy old man give 6 even though i know it will become a classic.

- TriviaFilmed in September 2017, it took two years for it to be shown in film festivals (July and December 2019) and three years for it to get a U.S. release (October 2020). That's why Jaeden Martell looked so much younger. He was 14 during filming and 17 when it was finally released in the U.S.
- Crazy creditsThe credits feature a melancholy dance sequence featuring Mr. Silk and members of the traveling circus.
