So, ‘Purple’ is an interesting piece in the skate film realm, really. It’s not just about the tricks and flips; there's a raw journey that unfolds over those 18 months. The pacing feels natural, almost like you’re riding along with the team. Ben Chadourne’s editing captures both the highs and the lows, giving it a gritty, authentic vibe. It’s a documentary that isn’t afraid to show the struggles behind the skate scene, the camaraderie and the grind. The atmosphere is quite immersive, you can feel the passion these skaters have. Plus, there's a certain charm in how the film embraces its imperfections, making it feel more personal and less commercial, if that makes sense. Definitely a unique entry in the skate documentary space.
