Sheena’s Secret

About This Movie

Sheena’s Secret is an interesting mix of comedy and sci-fi, with a punk rock vibe that's palpable right from the start. It follows a high school girl grappling with her superpowers while navigating the perilous waters of teenage life, particularly the bullying from the classic high school antagonists. The atmosphere is quite energetic, almost chaotic, mirroring Sheena's own struggle for identity. The pacing has its moments: some parts feel rushed, but that adds to the urgency of her situation. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but they serve the story well enough, adding that charming DIY feel that fits the punk aesthetic. Performances are spotty, but the lead shines in her portrayal of a girl torn between conformity and self-acceptance, which is a theme that resonates deeply in today’s climate.
