Whip It (2009)
Once upon a time there was a little girl that made friends with an alien and when she grew up she decided she wanted to direct films as well as act in them, this is the directorial début from Drew Barrymore. This is another coming of age tale where Ellen Page stars as a girl that finds her place in a roller derby team.
Much like yesterdays entry this is another well made effort that is not especially remarkable. There are good performances from the cast and the derby sequences are easy enough to follow for those of us that have no understanding of roller derby before watching this film. The central character goes through the usual trials and tribulations of being a teenage girl without offering us anything particularly that is a revelation.
3/5
