Sat next to a lady in her 60s who was seeing this for the first time, and by the end of the film, we were both teary-eyed and smiling. God I love cinema and seeing it with strangers.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Let's cut to the chase if you couldn't work out what that synopsis was actually trying to say! It's basically the Nativity story where we see a young couple tiredly walking through the Californian desert (cf. Gerry) and eventually taking refuge at the back of a motel. Meanwhile three young men in a car are travelling and they eventually meet up to witness the appearance of a baby boy.
At 5 minutes, it's way too short to be satisfying, and only suggests an exercise in mood and style which she does so effectively.

Minding the Gap 2018
NZIFF '18
Not really a skate documentary but a rich and honest film about friendship among a group of very likeable young men growing up in a rust belt town in Chicago where we soon discover they are all trying to deal with some form of childhood trauma - including the filmmaker, Bing - who isn't just behind the camera documenting but also a subject.
This hit way too close to home for me as I too skated and filmed…
