What a weird documentary. The director made herself a major figure in the documentary with a very tenuous connection to her own insecurity about having alopecia. I mean that's a worthy story to tell, which a lot of young people would surely benefit from, but it was strange to include in this film. The director takes up a lot of time talking verrrrry slowly with this weird affect to her voice, to talk about things that happened during filming - but she could've been covered it all in 1/4 the time, and spent more time on actually covering the subject at hand. It was very off-putting. As a result, the whole documentary only scratches the surface of what it claimed to be analyzing.
