About This Movie
The Head on Him is an oddball comedy that dives deep into identity and belonging, set against the backdrop of 90s Ireland. You really feel the boy's struggle to blend in, especially with that striking transformation when he shaves his Afro. Then, it’s like his hair has a mind of its own, growing back in this exaggerated, almost surreal way that traps him—literally and metaphorically. The practical effects on the Afro are a fun touch, adding a layer of visual humor that's not overdone. The pacing keeps you engaged, and the performances, especially from the young lead, have a raw, genuine quality. It’s quirky, sure, but it speaks to those universal themes of fitting in and embracing who you are.
