Reviews
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
babsylonia Being Ginger is a surprising, revealing and somewhat touching look at the world through one man's strong point of view. It is told through the eyes of a ginger, which in Great Britain, means a redhead. The documentary action moves quickly while still offering an in-depth exploration of the subject matter. It covers universal themes of bullying, the search for romance and the need to fit in. The filmmaker refuses to spare himself the same rigorous examination he gives others which leads his audience to alternate between moments of nail-biting suspense, disbelief that someone really said that and cheering for him. I enjoyed watching the filmmaker get to know his awkwardly needy inner child, the same one we all meet, when we attempt to grow up and discover our own identity.
Brooke Anderson-White The documentary is a perfect blend of humor and serious commentary on life, love, and growing up. Though told through the lens of one red-headed man, the lessons and values are universal. The film includes several serious themes, such as bullying, but weaves them all into the story without being abrupt or angry. The man on the street style-interviews are incredible and it is revealing to see what some people are willing to share on camera. I watched the film with my weekly movie group and everyone loved it, which is rare with this group. I highly recommend this movie and cannot wait to see what the director's next project is.
kevinorega Most men will have never thought about the colour of their hair as a possible obstacle when looking for love. Although this is the central conceit the movie, it is not really about "being ginger", it is more about one mans struggle to overcome his insecurities and find someone who accepts him for the man he is. Scott treats his journey with humility and good humour even in the face of baseless prejudice against him by some of the interviewees and members of the general public.Everyone should see this movie,if only to give them some insight into the difficulties that come with being ginger but also because it is a funny and heartwarming story.
robynbeckman This film is funny, cinematically beautiful, heart-felt, enlightening and engages the viewer from the opening frame. I think this film is very relevant to the difficulties of finding a mate in today's world, but especially for anyone who has a trait that may be considered "different" than others and for which one has been bullied about. I could completely relate to this story. I thought the cinematography was great! The animation was awesome too! This film is worth seeing! Natural redheads (or "gingers") will definitely want to see this film! Scott allows his vulnerability to show, which is refreshing. You should see this film. It's worth it!
