IMDb plot summary: In 2000, a small town hosts The British Hairdressing Championship, where a former 2-time winner, his son, his run-away wife and his runaway wife's lady lover reside (not all on speaking terms).
Directed by Paddy Breathnach. Starring Alan Rickman, Natasha Richardson, Rachel Griffiths, and Rachel Leigh Cook.
Despite being about a rather unusual artistic endeavor, this film regardless feels very familiar in its format and in the beats and dynamics at play. Where it succeeds is in the charisma of its stars, particularly Natasha Richardson and Alan Rickman, and watching this made me deeply sad that we have lost both of them. They're so excellent here, really bringing the heart to what could have been a much blander film. But with them, it's a sweet and enjoyable flick.
