Leave your thoughts about Skate Kitchen.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIf a breeze blowing through New York City decided to make a film, it would be Skate Kitchen. Nearly every moment here, of camerawork or character play, is wistfully, blissfully fluid. |
| The SkinnyIana MurrayThough ostensibly a simple hangout movie, Skate Kitchen is quietly revolutionary for how it approaches womanhood. |
| Boston GlobeGraham AmbroseA coming-of-age story set on four wheels, has the distinct charm of a film assured of its voice, even as its central character strives to find her own. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellySkate Kitchen is a hangout film first and foremost, and the camaraderie of the real-life besties is endlessly joyful. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeIn fact, all the weed smoking and street-smart sidewalk banter aside, Skate Kitchen’s perspective is, in many ways, downright innocent; as such, it may be a better fit for adolescent viewers than adult ones. |
| Denerstein UnleashedRobert DenersteinDirector Crystal Moselle... gives her movie lots of authenticity. |
| Globe and MailCarly LewisMoselle believes in the power of girls. The friendships through which Camille learns how to be loved become the anguish that breaks her heart and the forgiveness that humbly heals her. And resiliently they soar through the city, a harmony of wheels on pavement. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreMoselle’s second film to focus on a fringe-dwelling “pack” but first to be a narrative, fictional feature, has an intimacy that the novelty of a free-range family of raised-by-themselves boys did not. |
| Rendy ReviewsRendy JonesA brilliant coming of age tale that delves in a cultural scene many filmmakers failed to capture, but Moselle achieves with her shredding cast, script, and direction making it a new age classic. |
| The Pop BreakMarisa CarpicoThe view Moselle gives us of this subculture is intimate and occasionally a little strange, but every second is captivating. |
