Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
An exhilarating and terrifying journey through youth-culture hell.
Thoroughly compelling documentary.
The movie fails to pull off all its trick moves.
Offers a fascinating look into the skater's tumble from grace, as well as chronicling the renaissance of his rebel sport.
