My Hair

About This Movie

My Hair is a poignant exploration of identity and self-acceptance, anchored by the voice of thirteen-year-old Olivia. Set against the backdrop of Luxembourg, it dives deep into her struggle with mixed-race heritage and the societal pressures to conform, particularly through the lens of beauty standards tied to hair. The film's atmosphere is intimate and reflective, almost diary-like, giving us a raw look into Olivia's thoughts. The pacing is gentle, allowing the audience to fully absorb her emotional journey. There’s something distinctive about the way it captures the nuances of growing up, especially as a child of different backgrounds. It doesn’t shy away from complexity, making it a resonant piece of storytelling.

This film has not seen a wide release, which has kept it somewhat under the radar among collectors. There are whispers of a limited physical release, but tracking those down can be tricky. Interest is starting to grow, especially among collectors who appreciate narratives focused on identity and personal struggle, but the availability is still quite limited. Keep an eye out for any screenings or festival circuits that might shed light on its future availability.
