declanpabari Hi this evening I watched the above film 'being ginger', I arrived back from work and found myself scanning through Netflix having watched most of the decent films it has to offer when I came across this intriguing summery. I found the film and the life of the main character really interesting and his journey to find someone and find out more about himself entertaining. The film has many comical and uplifting scenes. If your into documentaries and are up for a laugh then I'm sure you will enjoy this one :)

monkeyfox-93837 This guy has himself convinced that women won't date him because he's a redhead. I watched the whole film hoping he would redeem himself before I formed an opinion. His personality is so god awful, and he's so unhappy with himself that I found this hard to finish. If he was self assured, or charismatic in ANY way, he'd have no problem finding a girlfriend. He's hiding behind his hair color instead of looking at his approach. Confidence goes a long way. He has none, and hair color has nothing to do with it. Production was OK I suppose, other than he filmed an entire "date" without the girl in the frame. It's basically a guy whining that women hate ginger men, yet he never actually acts like a man. He's actually very good looking too, which makes this even worse. What really made me lose my mind was when he said he'd never date a ginger woman. Coming from a guy who claims he can't get a date to save his life. Go cry on your orange stained pillow.

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.

ljbarton Lots of entertaining moments and laughter while the film maker shares his story about growing up being picked on for having red hair and his current search to find love and acceptance. A solid effort for a low budget movie that gets to the heart of someone feeling different. The documentary is not gimmicky, overly dramatic or too long. The film maker's journey takes us to Scotland, the Netherlands and the United States in a narrative style that also includes animation features. The film maker participated in a large gathering of redheads in the Netherlands where an early version of Being Ginger was screened, and the post screening interaction with the audience as well as his conversations with other redheads was filmed and added to Being Ginger, which provided more depth to his journey.
