The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I watched the movie at one of the first screenings and it really amazed me by its feeling for seriousness and humour. It's such a great film by an inspiring filmmaker. Scott really knows how to play with the seriousness of the subject, he has been bullied ever since high school and with the ability of overcoming these experiences and making a fool of himself and his situation. By doing that he really makes the saddening stories worth seeing them. It's also shocking how non-redheads react to redheads. Unfortunately it's always the girl who is being regarded as being more attractive than the boys. Thus the boys are struggling very hard to score with the girls. He is proofing this cliché. You should absolutely go and see the film. It will make you want to see it again and again and again!

The documentary is a perfect blend of humor and serious commentary on life, love, and growing up. Though told through the lens of one red-headed man, the lessons and values are universal. The film includes several serious themes, such as bullying, but weaves them all into the story without being abrupt or angry. The man on the street style-interviews are incredible and it is revealing to see what some people are willing to share on camera. I watched the film with my weekly movie group and everyone loved it, which is rare with this group. I highly recommend this movie and cannot wait to see what the director's next project is.

I supported this on Kickstarter after seeing something about it on Reddit and was thoroughly impressed by the final outcome. It's an at-times heart-wrenching story about how people who are "different" are treated in our society. The film-maker deserves enormous kudos for his film-making, openness and honesty.Scott Harris is a film-maker who also has a terrible disability; he's a redhead. At least you'd think it is a terrible disability from the way he was bullied as a kid and treated as an adult. Through documenting his search for a ginger-loving girlfriend, he somewhat inadvertently ends up revealing the wounds a lifetime of abuse about his hair colour has caused him.

Lots of entertaining moments and laughter while the film maker shares his story about growing up being picked on for having red hair and his current search to find love and acceptance. A solid effort for a low budget movie that gets to the heart of someone feeling different. The documentary is not gimmicky, overly dramatic or too long. The film maker's journey takes us to Scotland, the Netherlands and the United States in a narrative style that also includes animation features. The film maker participated in a large gathering of redheads in the Netherlands where an early version of Being Ginger was screened, and the post screening interaction with the audience as well as his conversations with other redheads was filmed and added to Being Ginger, which provided more depth to his journey.
