Read Kelsi's review of Skate Kitchen.
SKATE KITCHEN is a dreamy and exuberant portrait of a suburban teenager whose life changes dramatically when she befriends a group of female skateboarders in New York. Featuring a supporting turn by Jaden Smith, director Crystal Moselle’s (THE WOLFPACK) narrative feature debut world-premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and stars Rachelle Vinberg, Dede Lovelace, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell and Kabrina Adams.
Skate Kitchen is in select theaters on August 24th, 2018.
Skate Kitchen takes you on the journey of a young teenaged girl, Camilla, from Long
Island. Living a lonely and almost “lost” life in big New York City; skating seems to be her only
passion. When she encounters a problematic skating injury, her mother bans her from ever using
her skateboard again. However, there was nothing that was going to stop Camilla (Rachelle
Vinberg) from skating away from all her problems. New York City quickly found a way into
Camilla’s heart when she went searching for a place, any place far from her mother, to skate.
Befriending a group of skateboarding girls and boys, she begins to understand friendship and its
limitless boundaries.
This movie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t something that I, personally, would go see in the
theaters. It was merely just a bunch of kids skateboarding and getting into some fights. It went a
little slower than I would have preferred during some parts of the movie. Not too much action or
excitement here. I am not going to lie I was waiting for something drastic to happen, like another
serious injury, to spice up the movie a bit. But unfortunately, nothing like that occurred. I
probably won’t be recommending this movie to any of my friends. It seemed like a movie
younger teenagers might enjoy.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
