Little Thomas Review: Child's Curiosity Amid Family Struggles in 1990s Goa
Little Thomas, directed by Kaushal Oza, follows a seven-year-old boy in 1990s Goa seeking answers about where babies come from amid his parents' troubled marriage and struggling bakery business. The film features notable performances by Hridansh Parekh, Gulshan Devaiah, and Rasika Dugal, praised for their restrained acting. While the film's innocence and nostalgic setting are appreciated, critics note an underdeveloped screenplay and stilted dialogue that limit its emotional impact.
