Bald

About This Movie

BALD is an interesting mix of comedy and introspection, centering on Andrew Wood, a second year university student whose hairline is retreating just as fast as his academic performance. The film's tone leans heavily into self-deprecation and absurdity, with Andrew's attempts to boost his confidence leading to some hilariously awkward situations. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, mirroring Andrew's spiraling life. The performances are earnest, with a sense of relatability that makes you chuckle and cringe in equal measure. There's a unique charm here that comes from its raw portrayal of insecurities, and the practical effects used to represent Andrew’s hair loss add a nice comedic touch that you don't often see in college comedies.
