About This Movie

Get Rollin' is one of those slice-of-life documentaries that captures the roller disco scene of the late 70s and early 80s. Directed by J. Terrance Mitchell, it focuses on Pat the Cat and her aspirations within this vibrant subculture. The film has a raw, unpolished feel that mirrors the energy of the skating rink, with a soundtrack that really pulls you into the groove. The pacing tends to reflect the rhythm of skating—some leisurely moments punctuated by bursts of excitement. Practical effects are minimal, but the real charm lies in the performances of the skaters, showcasing their passion and dedication. It's a fascinating look at a niche community that doesn’t really get the spotlight often.
