It was a surprising and engrossing work, in large part because it had the confidence to turn the camera on its subjects and watch them being themselves, without getting too hung up on fitting everyone with psychological labels or treating them as if they were variations of familiar, fictional types.
Moselle's last film was the documentary " The Wolfpack," about a family that home schooled its seven children on New York's Lower East Side. It's also a movie that deliberately blurs the line between documentary and fiction: the main characters are all real New York skaters who are playing characters who are very close to themselves in real life. Crystal Moselle's "Skate Kitchen," about a group of young female skateboarders in New York City, is a solid hangout movie as well as a band-of-buddies film-genres that tend to revolve around young men.
