Review of Skater Girl

Skater Girl (2021)
7/10
Based on an Uncredited true story
12 January 2022
Look up Asha Gond and Ulrike Reinhard (German Writer) and the story behind Janwaar Castle Skatepark. It's ridiculous that they aren't credited.

The actors in the film do a good job but the way they address the complex social issues of india's caste system is pretty Disney-esque. I do like that they chose Amy Maghera for the lead since she is actually half Indian and Rachel Sancheeta Gupta is very good as Prerna. The supporting cast is also believable in their roles. Why they didn't use the real Skater Girl Asha Gond that can actually skate as the main character is a puzzle much akin to many of hollywood's sad choices of casting.
