Tall Poppy: A Skater's Story really captures the essence of youth and determination. You see Poppy Starr Olsen, this little girl with a skateboard, morph into a fierce competitor by 14. The documentary has this raw vibe, showcasing not only her rise in the male-dominated world of bowl skating but also the intricacies of her life and the sport itself. Justine Moyle does a nice job balancing the highs of competition—like that bronze at the XGames—with the personal struggles Poppy faces. It's not just about tricks and accolades; it's about finding your place in a world that often sidelines you. The pacing flows well, holding your interest while exploring deeper themes of identity and resilience.
