A Hair's Breadth

About This Movie

A Hair's Breadth, directed by Kieran Wall, is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that wades into the murky waters of personal freedom versus societal expectations. The film follows Beck, a young swimmer, who finds himself in a peculiar predicament with his new moustache. It's not just a quirky detail; it’s almost a character in itself, slowing him down in the pool just when it matters most. The pacing has a nice rhythm, ebbing and flowing like the water Beck competes in. Wall captures the tension between Beck and his coach beautifully, bringing a tangible sense of pressure to the narrative. Performances are solid, especially in those moments when the stakes feel personal. It’s an offbeat tale that dives into themes of identity and conformity.
