On the surface, ROLLER GIRL is a charming story about a 12-year-old girl trying out roller derby for the first time and dealing with the social fallout of losing her best friend. And honestly, that's a compelling enough story. But woven into all that is a more subtle story about an almost-adult learning that emotions (and life) aren't so simple as happy, sad, nervous, etc. At its heart, ROLLER GIRL is about navigating the complexities of life, breaking down simple labels, and accepting people/situations for who/what they are. Loved it!
