Rolling ok

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2020)

Decent teen drama about the classic theme of doing what you love or what others expect, and of course a bit of romance and friendship issues and such typical stuff thrown in. The story itself is nothing out of the ordinary but it's done quite nicely.
Ellen Page is great as the lead, and the other actresses in the roller team also create wacky but believable characters. In general this is a movie that has an all-around good cast that makes the story come to life.
I liked the first half but in the middle there was a moment when I felt like the buildup led to a uninteresting middle phase and I was worried if the rest of the film is going to be boring, but then towards the end it picked up the momentum again.
See it especially if you're interested in roller derby!
