Pricks

About This Movie

Pricks is an intriguing exploration of a woman's struggle with Type 1 Diabetes. The film delves into her daily battles, not just with the disease but with societal perceptions of health. The atmosphere feels raw, almost claustrophobic at times, mirroring her internal conflicts. Pacing can be a bit uneven, but this lends to the sense of her chaotic life. The performances are heartfelt – the lead has a way of embodying vulnerability, drawing you into her world. Practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the daily routines and struggles rather than over-dramatizing them. It’s distinctive in how it deals with a health issue without feeling like a message piece, more of a personal journey.
