Hairy Women is simply a documentary about women with body hair who feel uncomfortable with it so undergo techniques to remove it. That's it.
The film features interviews with real women suffering from (large amounts) of body hair. They discuss their removal techniques (e.g. laser surgery, waxing) and the story behind their problem. The film becomes interesting when the some of the women decide (as a challenge) to let the body hair grow (for a month I think). The filmmakers then follow their journey and whether they choose to wax again.
The film is average. It will interest people who are interested in the subject or the beauty industry in general. Unfortunately, the human interest aspects and the personal journeys are not strong enough. The film supposedly "tackles a taboo subject" according to some sources and although it gives an insight into a subject which is (arguably) taboo it certainly does not tackle it head-on. The film does not take itself too seriously (the use of music such as Markus Nikolai's Bushes is clearly done for comic effect and it's appreciated) and as a result is easy viewing. It's an easy watch but most viewers shouldn't go out of their way to view it, unless the subject really intrigues them.
