Getting Nowhere Faster

About This Movie

Getting Nowhere Faster is an intriguing skate documentary that delivers a raw, energetic vibe. Directed by Lori Damiano, it showcases a range of female skaters like Lyn-Z, CB, and Vanessa, who each bring their own flair to the sport. The film captures not just the tricks but the camaraderie and the struggles of women in a male-dominated scene. It's got this gritty, almost underground feel that gives you a genuine sense of the skate culture at the time. The pacing flows well, interspersing impressive skating footage with personal anecdotes that keep it engaging. You really get a sense of their passion and determination, which makes it distinct from the typical flashy skate videos. It’s more about the journey and less about just the stunts.
