“Skate Kitchen turns its subjects into a fascinating microcosm of American youth.”

-- Eric Kohn, Indiewire

“Skate Kitchen exists in a time when it's still not normalized for men to see women on skateboards, but the crystal clear coolness of Moselle's film proves they should get with the program.”

-- Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com

“It is first and foremost an irresistible hangout movie, offering a thoroughly millennial, vérité spin on '80s skater classics like "Thrashin'.”

-- Andrew Barker, Variety

Crystal Moselle’s Skate Kitchen is a lively drama about the skate subculture, where girls aim to carve out their own space in a guy-dominated sport. Playing fictionalized versions of themselves are The Skate Kitchen (an all-female skateboarding crew in New York), including co-founder Rachelle Vinberg. Also starring Jaden Smith, the film debuted at Sundance 2018 and played at Inside Out.

Camille (Vinberg) is a shy 18-year-old living with her single mother (Elizabeth Rodriguez) in Long Island. After a scary skate accident, Camille promises she’ll hang up her board. But the urge to skate is too great – so she responds to a social media post about a “girls skate sesh” in New York’s Lower East Side. Finding the camaraderie she’s been missing all her life, Camille falls in with the crowd and falls out with her mother. But when she falls for a mysterious skateboard guy (Smith), the relationship proves to be trickier to navigate than a kickflip.
