WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

For her first narrative feature after breaking through with the riveting documentary The Wolfpack, filmmaker Crystal Moselle brings us a raw and natural tale of female skateboarding with a cast of mostly unknowns (aside from Jaden Smith, in his first feature role since his failed launch as an action star in the dismal After Earth).
