Lick the Star is an intriguing slice of late '90s indie drama that captures the complexities of teenage dynamics with a raw, almost voyeuristic lens. The film revolves around a group of school girls, who concoct this secretive plan dubbed 'Lick the Star.' It’s really interesting how it explores themes of power, rebellion, and the harsh realities of adolescent social hierarchies. The pacing is quite deliberate, letting the tension simmer as their plan unfolds. And those performances? They feel authentic, bringing forth a mix of innocence and cruelty. The atmosphere has this almost surreal quality, enhanced by the understated visuals that really bring out the subtleties in their interactions. All in all, it stands out among other teen dramas for its unfiltered portrayal of girlhood.
