Featured review
Sony Pictures Animation continue to up their game.
An opening 'Pixar' logo wouldn't be out of place in 'Hair Love (2019)', a short by Sony Pictures Animation, as it perfectly captures the heart and spirit typically associated with the widely-accepted-as-number-one studio. It's a touching tale of father and daughter, one that hits its emotional beats just as well as its more surrealist comedic ones. It's both sad and hopeful, a portrait of a family surviving through tough times. It's feel good, for sure. It's also wonderfully diverse and body-positive, focusing quite overly on something most family films actively run away from. It isn't a masterpiece, but it's a great little short that's sure to put a smile on your face. 7/10
