Hair High

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hair High isn't first-tier Plympton, but like the rest of the animator's work, this is an assuredly odd tale that should resonate with fans of strange cinema.

Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times Hair High is not for everyone, but it's not like anything else out right now. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 12, 2007 Full Review Michael Booth Denver Post Rarely is filmmaking of any kind this exuberant, this inventive or this entertaining. Rated: 3/4 Feb 9, 2007 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe Much of the visual comedy comes from the incongruous proportions of the bodies: skinny legs and puffed-out chests. Rated: 3/4 Dec 1, 2006 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Seattle Film Blog Imagine a cross between cartoonish, live-action musical Grease, Finnish show-band crazies the Leningrad Cowboys, and violently twisted video game Stubbs the Zombie, and there you have it: Hair High. Rated: 3/4 Aug 11, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Plympton's fourth feature film is also his least inspired, but it's still very much worth a look. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 19, 2007 Full Review Gary Goldstein Reel.com It's a wickedly fine ensemble and Plympton gives everyone free rein, which is no surprise from the creator of this irreverent, freewheeling delight. Rated: 3/4 Apr 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Even though the movie is seriously messed up, it is still a fresh story with good elements. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Plympton's visual inventiveness may have faded a little, but this teen movie on acid is still one of the most insane things out there. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member fucked up but try to sit through it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not okay. Not okay. I remember liking this guy's stuff when I was 13 years old. Apparently I grew up and he didn't. This movie is an animated wet dream/nightmare of any freshman in high school, and apparently was written by one as well. To think that this is the work of a grown man is staggering. The cast is full of great people, but the movie is more than a misfire. Perhaps I'll give Mr. Plympton one more shot before I write him off completely... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Es el largometraje de Plympton mas entretenido, aunque no sea tan alocada como las otras. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Soy el primero en hacer un comentario? Lastima, mas gente deberia ver esta pelicula. Bill Plympton es un animador genial, capaz de transformar una hoistoria tonta y simplona en una genialidad como esta. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
