Une femme de tête

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

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!

Someone else questioned how they could make a movie about a woman's hair. Well, they didn't. This movie isn't about one woman's hair. This movie is about black women's hair, and what it's like for black women to live in a world where they're stigmatized because of their hair. Where they're considered unprofessional and uncivilized if they don't straighten it.

I guess you have to actually be a black woman to relate to this film. But you shouldn't have to be a black woman to be able to empathize with black women. When the world is the way it is, we need movies like this. Black women need movies like this. Black women deserve movies like this.

Also, you know, it's a sweet and heartwarming movie, it goes places and doesn't end the way you think. I liked it.

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.
