Enjoyed the storyline. This is what little girls are supposed to dream about. You go with the character along the journey.
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.

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.
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!

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.
