Bright Hair

About This Movie

So, 'Bright Hair' is this intriguing blend of crime and drama, with a real sense of disquiet throughout. The story follows a schoolgirl who’s grappling with some intense blackouts, all tied to a murder scene she stumbled upon. It’s not just a whodunit; it digs into the psychological stuff, especially with her English teacher getting involved and then his wife winding up dead too. What I find fascinating is the atmosphere—there’s this eerie tension that builds as her grip on reality starts to slip. Menaul’s direction is pretty tight, keeping you guessing. The performances are solid—there's a rawness to the schoolgirl's portrayal that sticks with you. It’s sort of unsettling in the best way, you know?
