Nappily Ever After

NAPPILY EVER AFTER is a new romantic comedy, now available on Netflix. The title of course is a play on "happily" ever after and refers to the hair of the African-American lead actress, who does a great job in this film. I'm not familiar with her other work, but I loved her in this.

That being said, this IS a romantic comedy, so be warned. It has all the clichés and trappings of the genre, so you can expect that. It doesn't feel particularly fresh, but it feels familiar in a good, comfortable way. There are no real surprises and it follows a plot we've seen a hundred times before, but of course it's still fun to watch if you like these kinds of films. Recommend to fans of the genre.

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!

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.

Great! Sanaa Lathan is great! She does an excellent job depicting how women fall under so much pressure to be perfect. Black women are often stereotyped on how their hair looks and put in a box. This movie is funny and has a good plot. I recommend it

«Violet Jones tired of waiting for her longtime boyfriend to propose, breaks up with him. But old feelings, and heaps of jealousy, no doubt, arise when he promptly begins dating another woman.»

Really? Somebody didn't get it. The best about the movie: is not about the men. Is mainly about a woman who set itself free. From her mom, the society and the man.
