B-Side

About This Movie

B-Side is this raw exploration of grief and resilience, focusing on Mal, a seventeen-year-old grappling with her father's death. The atmosphere is both heavy and uplifting; it captures that awkward phase of adolescence really well. You know, the pacing is quite deliberate, letting emotions breathe while the skateboard scenes are both exhilarating and relatable. The way it portrays the camaraderie among the young women skateboarders feels genuine—it's not just about skating, but about finding strength together. And even though the director remains unknown, the performances have a certain rawness, almost like you're watching a documentary. It’s a unique mix of coming-of-age and dealing with loss that feels real and unfiltered.
