Although this film reminds me greatly of the movie "Mid 90's" and The Sandlot, it still has a great story & concept. I can actually relate to this film as a previous skater (even though I'm a guy) because at the end of the day friendship is a very important aspect in the skating community. Many issues/ obstacles may arise, but as a skateboarder it's important for us to overcome it and grow. The main girl in this film did quite well as far as acting wise in my opinion. I DO feel like Jaden could work more on his acting but he's still at that learning phase. The cinematography and color Grading is dope overall! I could relate to both main girl & Jaden because I used to skate hardcore back in the day & take pictures & videos. This film reminds me of my ex who also skates in the NY scene with her girl friends and lives life to the fullest. Now this film isn't for everyone.. I feel like you have to be open minded to skateboarding as well as what today's youth indulges in. Everything pretty much shown in this movie is quite accurate of how the Ny scene (even Houston, TX where I'm from) can get down in the underground. Also too even though the film is a "taboo cult movie", this reminds me of KIDS from the early 90's but ofc a more cleaner/female version of it lol.

Movie night with Iris. Skate Kitchen is a joy. A well-observed rites of passage story, and refreshingly a female one. At the beginning the dreamy, sunlight shots had me a little anxious. Was it going to be another * skateboard film. Fortunately, not as it becomes a more deeper, engrossing tale. Skate Kitchen is about friendship, puberty, first love and jealousy. An urban tale but with beauty and joy. Top film.

I watched this little gem of a film recently with my teenage daughter, and we were pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the style of this film. It's got a documentary feel to it that is very natural and freewheeling. The freedom of the kids that comprise Skate Kitchen gave me nostalgia going back 40 years to the summers I spent with my teenage tribe roaming free and having fun together. A beautiful thing. The storyline of Camille who feels so alone until she reaches out and connects with her tribe of female skaters is so relatable - it's a great coming of age theme and a great feminist theme as well. Besides this layer of finding your tribe, the film also explores the whole culture of urban skateboarding - something I knew nothing about and really enjoyed immersing myself in during the film. The other layer of the storyline that I thought was well done was Camille's journey of shifting custody among her parents to try to get what she needed at different stages of her childhood and adolescence - it was heartbreaking and gave insight into her character. After watching the film, I was very curious how it was made, and I think it's really interesting that Skate Kitchen collaborated on the script and formed part of the ensemble for the film. My daughter thought so much of the film, especially the dialogue, felt very natural/real. I think the director and the cast did a great job with this film. It's a big risk to put your real life and real story on the screen and dedicate so much time scripting and telling it in a novel way.

Director Crystal Moselle discovered a group of female skateboarders in the NYC East Village and along with two co-writers fashioned a fictional tale loosely based on the personalities of this odd sports collective. It's an ethnically diverse group headed by co-founder Rachelle Vinberg who plays Camille, a shy interloper who lives with her single mom out on Long Island (the mom is played by Elizabeth Rodriguez, one of the few professional actors here). A good number of critics questioned why Moselle didn't film this as a documentary, much like her earlier effort in 2015, The Wolfpack. Instead, she had the skaters improvise scenes and develop a story. While the visuals here are nicely done, as it's not that easy putting together such a large canvas of skaters in motion, the plot unfortunately doesn't measure up to the acrobatic feats displayed on screen. The plot features the usual mother-daughter imbroglio where Camille is thrown out of her mother's home due to her rebellious ways. She joins the skate collective led by a tough lesbian Kurt (Nina Moran) and the more easy-going Janay (Ardelia Lovelace), who along with her supportive father, take Camille in for a short while. Eventually Camille starts hanging out with the skateboarding guys including Devon (former boyfriend of Janay) and played by Jaden Smith (celebrity actor Will Smith's son). The girls look poorly on Camille's decision to hang with the boys and Janay feels particularly slighted as a result of Camille's new relationship with Devon (while it's platonic, Janay doesn't believe it's as simple as that). You can probably guess what happens. Camille is banished from the group and eventually returns to live with her mother. There is nothing extraordinarily different or original here in terms of the narrative, and much of the dialogue sounds improvised. If you have an interest in skateboarding then you'll probably enjoy this film. For me, all that skateboarding became quite tedious. Moselle is a talented editor and knows how to put a film together. Better next time however, is to seek out an established screenwriter who has unearthed some subject matter that is a bit more compelling.

This is more a documentary about kids skating and connecting with each other. No real story except hanging out in the street and do ....skating. No backgrounds of the kids -education???-, some of them work in the supermarket to buy weet afterwards, drinking, fu...*$ing, ... Even my kids did not liked the 'movie'

There's not many female driven skater films out there, so I was really looking forward to this film. But, I ended up being disappointed. The writing was just bad and amateur-ish. The ending felt rushed completely. Acting was weak, aside from a couple of the girls who were actually believable. Skate Kitchen could've been great, but it needed a better script and decent actors.

The Spanish lines were easier to understand than the rest of it. The English dialogue needed subtitles. I liked the story well enough but the audio was so rough I couldn't hear what was being said most of the time.

Skate Kitchen is a decent coming-of-age film for young women in their late teens/early 20s. It doesn't have much of a plot or a story, but that won't bother the target audience. While it wasn't for me, it will suit some just fine.
