My Hair, My Rules

About This Movie

So, "My Hair, My Rules" dives deep into Ronald Hinton's world, where his afro isn't just a hairstyle but a symbol of his journey. It’s really a personal exploration of how hair can reflect identity, culture, and self-acceptance. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to really sit with his thoughts and feelings, which adds to that contemplative vibe. What struck me was how they used practical effects to show the emotional weight of his hair loss—there's something raw and honest about it. It’s not just about the curls, but what they mean to him, and that makes it stand out in the documentary space.

Since its release, "My Hair, My Rules" has sparked interest among collectors, particularly for its unique take on personal narratives in documentary filmmaking. While it may not have widespread distribution, its thematic depth and honest visuals have captured the eyes of niche audiences. Limited format releases could enhance its appeal, so keeping an eye out for any special editions may be worthwhile for dedicated collectors.
