There's a sense of being trapped that permeates "Bad Hair" - trapped in your own flesh, trapped in circumstances, trapped in the family you're born into.
Writer-director Mariana Rondón offers a striking new twist on mother-son relationships.
The film is anchored by two riveting performances from Castillo and Lange, whose characters are searching for themselves and feeling increasingly desperate as they fail.
No matter how dire things may get, Pelo malo argues that hope springs eternal.
The psychological drama grows organically out of everyday conflict, and an immersive treatment of the housing project where the characters live. This is an accomplished piece of social realist filmmaking, clear-eyed but tender.

Much lies below the surface, and that surface consists in part of on-location shooting of urban desolation that is taken for granted as the characters' lot in life.
Audience Reviews for Bad Hair
An irregular film that suffers from the contradictory behavior of its two main characters but has a poignant ending, even if the mother played by Castillo seems like a telenovela villain in urgent need of psychiatric help - although I do know that the world is full of people like that.
