Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
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.
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.
Michael Boulter I supported this on Kickstarter after seeing something about it on Reddit and was thoroughly impressed by the final outcome. It's an at-times heart-wrenching story about how people who are "different" are treated in our society. The film-maker deserves enormous kudos for his film-making, openness and honesty.Scott Harris is a film-maker who also has a terrible disability; he's a redhead. At least you'd think it is a terrible disability from the way he was bullied as a kid and treated as an adult. Through documenting his search for a ginger-loving girlfriend, he somewhat inadvertently ends up revealing the wounds a lifetime of abuse about his hair colour has caused him.
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.
