Good Hair, Jeff Stilson, 2008

Chris Rock's familiar presence drives this serio-comic documentary on the black hair products industry, winner of a Special Jury Prize at Sundance 2009. Amusing in some stretches, informative in others, the film is still something less than the sum of its parts, landing as limply as Rock's lazy closing platitude "its not what's on top of your head that counts, but what's inside it."
