The TVI Take

Crystal Moselle's 2018 New York film, made with an actual all-female skate crew Moselle met on the subway. Documentary credibility in every frame.

The film is unusually attentive to how skate culture mediates female friendship, sexuality, and class outside the homosocial-male default of skate cinema.
