This is a film with beautiful performances and a visual style that urges you towards reflection

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.
I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.
I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Description: Documentary following four rival hair salons as they flaunt their talents in the Black Beauty And Hair awards - the most competitive and prestigious Afro hair competition in the UK. Champions George and Apple Kosit from Kosit Hair & Beauty seem to win everything they enter, while Angela Plummer from Sour2Sweet boasts a celebrity clientele including Usher and Felix Dexter. Wayne and Cyndia from Hype both yearn to be crowned Best Newcomer but talented Midlands stylists Michael Wilson and Angela Foster from Revolution also have their eyes on the prize, overcoming personal problems to let their hair designs speak for themselves.
Country: UK. 2008.
This documentary from Rachel Wang and Mark Currie about the stylists at the Black Beauty and Hair Awards is sharp and often funny. It does not patronise as Angela, the braid stylist to the stars, and Thai pair George and Apple, Team GB’s Afro hair champions, show how it’s done.
