Unrelenting Honesty
Two really good skateboarding movies came out recently. The first one I got to see, Crystal Moselle’s “Skate Kitchen”, functioned as a fun semi-documentary that celebrated the friendship forged between a crew of NYC girls making their own space in a predominately male sport. The second one, Bing Liu’s “Minding the Gap” took a very different approach to the subject, focusing much deeper on the pain that drove a group of three Midwestern skateboarders together, and how the same wounds would continue to dictate their life both in and outside of skateboarding. Unlike Skate Kitchen, this documentary is not an easy watch. It’s by no means a boring watch, as Liu constructs a very cinematic experience both visually and emotionally, but some of the life experiences that the director focuses on can be truly devastating to anyone who has ever experienced anything similar. The characters in this film are real, and you want to see each of them succeed despite the odds stacked against them. I don’t want to spoil the story too much, but I will say that there’s something in this movie for everyone. It’s much less a skateboarding movie than it is a movie about parenthood gone wrong and finding your way in your 20’s, which I’m sure a lot of people can relate to. I hope everyone gets to see this film, and I hope everyone has a box of tissues close by.
