Lice

About This Movie

So, 'Lice' is an interesting little piece from 2024. It's a drama that delves into the often overlooked world of childhood friendships and the secrecy that can come with them. The story centers on Roshni, who's 12, and her unlikely bond with Chakor, the outcast. It’s really about how Roshni’s lice infestation becomes this looming shadow over their friendship. The pacing has a gentle flow, allowing you to really sit with the characters and feel their awkwardness and tension. I found the atmosphere quite raw and relatable, capturing those middle school dynamics perfectly. The performances are solid, especially considering the young cast. There's something distinctively poignant about how the film addresses themes of acceptance and the weight of lies in young friendships.
