Camille (Rachelle Vinberg, pictured far left) lives on Long Island, where she skateboards for her Instagram. After a fight with her mother, who wants her to stop skating, Camille flees into New York City and hooks up with an all-girl skate crew. Various threads of drama ensue, including with a skater played by Jaden Smith.
This movie has two layers to it. On the surface is a story about a girl who skates, with plenty of footage of her and others doing just that. That alone would be worth the price of admission if you like skateboards at all. Deeper down, though, are some amazing moments of authentic emotional vulnerability; in particular, the scenes I will shorthand as “speaking your heart’s truth,” “the great parting of ways,” and ”will they or won’t they?” are masterfully done. Definitely a MUST SEE.
