88Although its tone is generally genial and jovial, Good Hair touches on some tricky issues, at times complicitly.
-
80The result is a documentary that weaves as much comedy as fact into the narrative, making the experience a satisfying entertainment even for the lucky few who have no hair cares at all.
-
80One of those rare documentaries that works on two seemingly incongruous levels at once: It's both social commentary and pure delight.
