Baldy The Film

About This Movie

Baldy The Film is a curious blend of comedy and drama that dives into the bittersweet side of growing older, particularly for those of us grappling with changing identities. Eddie Griffith directs a vibrant yet reflective narrative centered on Travis, a New Yorker dealing with a receding hairline and the emotional baggage that comes with it. The film captures that chaotic energy of a night out, with a cast of quirky, relatable characters surrounding him. The pacing feels just right for a character-driven piece, allowing moments of humor to breathe before diving into deeper themes of friendship and self-acceptance. Practical effects for some of the hair loss visuals add a nice touch, and the performances are genuine, making the emotional beats resonate well without feeling forced.
