This is just a great important movie. Well I know it gets cliched and exaggerated sometimes but whatever it's just amazing, touching and inspiring. The story is great and has a nice important message about girl empowerment and following your dreams. The cast is awesome and real. Skater Girl is an emotional uplifting well made film that deserves better recognition, go see it now.
This movie is mostly about the British woman who saved Indian children form their negligent parents and adults in general... yes, because all the adults in third world countries don't know what is best for their children so they really really really need another white person to go and teach them what to do.
Another blackfaced fair girl playing a rural Indian saved by a foreigner.
I am a British Indian and this movie did not relate.
Hopefully, it may inspire some.

This movie has a wonderful feel good factor and emphasizes on how one small step can change the destiny of so many people in a positive way. Very beautifully shot with great performances by everyone. This movie will connect emotionally with people.
7.3 stars.
I feel like this is more a story about a girl living in an impoverished village in India trying to envision a better life, rather than her being a skater girl. It's obvious that her dreams are very limited. In a first world nation, dreams like this are child's play. But in her situation, her simple dream is to skate. It would be comparable to an American child dreaming of one day riding a bicycle. You see the profoundly limited opportunity these poor children in the lower castes of India have.
Eventually, her miniature dream turns into a reality and she has the opportunity to skate. Unfortunately, that is just about all she can do outside of intense chores around the house as a poor and worthless girl.
She is hoping to enter a skateboarding competition, but her domineering father has other plans. It's a bittersweet ending for sure.
