White Lines is a visually striking film that captures the tension of a pivotal moment in Amber’s life. Following her as she conceals an unplanned pregnancy from her drug-dealer boyfriend, the film sets up a compelling premise. While the story sometimes feels thin and could have benefitted from exploring Amber’s inner conflict in greater depth, the emotional weight is carried by the performances, specifically Amy Pollock, whose lead feels raw and convincing. The cinematography and lighting elevate the film, creating a vivid contrast between the euphonic, chaotic world of the rave and Amber’s quiet turmoil. Despite its narrative limitations, White Lines leaves an impression through its visuals and grounded performances.
