Snip!

About This Movie

So, 'Snip!' is this quirky little gem from 2000 that somehow slipped under the radar. It’s about a hairdresser who gets tangled up with an aging star and a wannabe gangster, and honestly, it’s got this oddball charm to it. The pacing’s a bit off at times, which gives it a unique rhythm, making the moments of tension stand out against the lighter scenes. I think what keeps it intriguing is how it plays with themes of ambition and the lengths people will go for fame. The performances feel natural, almost improvised at times, which adds to the film's distinct vibe. It’s not your standard fare, and that’s what I dig about it.

Finding 'Snip!' on physical media is getting trickier as it never had a very wide release. Most copies float around on VHS and some early DVD releases, which are becoming increasingly scarce. Collector interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate indie films from that era that have a distinct tone. It’s one of those films that could easily be overlooked, but there’s a charm in its offbeat story and performances that gives it a certain cachet among niche collectors.
