🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is far more than a sports documentary; it's a raw, unflinching study of addiction's psychology. The camera doesn't just observe—it participates, creating a vertiginous sense of immersion that is both captivating and deeply unsettling.

What lingers after the credits roll is a complex residue of awe for the subject's skill and a profound sorrow for his trajectory. The film poses difficult questions about the price of genius and the allure of decay, offering no simple solace. — MovieFinder Editorial

The neon glare of the city at night, the sweat-slicked asphalt of skate parks, editing that mimics a chemical rush.
