Bad Hair – Starring Elle Lorraine
Like Antebellum, Justin Simien’s 2nd film, which premiered at Sundance back in January 2020, has been plagued with bad reviews from Black critics for similar reasons.
In 1989 an ambitious young woman gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own.
