Clean Sheets

About This Movie

Clean Sheets presents a raw and intimate look at childhood vulnerability. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of its charm. The documentary weaves together the lives of three kids, each grappling with their own secret—their nighttime struggles. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing moments of awkwardness to resonate, which is quite effective. It feels honest, even a bit uncomfortable at times, yet it captures the innocence of those formative years. The performances, if you can call them that, are authentic; these kids are just being themselves. It’s a distinctive exploration of shame and acceptance, with a surprisingly tender atmosphere despite the subject matter. You might find yourself reflecting on the things we carry from childhood long after it ends.
