Precious

About This Movie

PRECIOUS is an intriguing look into the skate culture through the lens of Joaquim Bayle's direction. It's not your standard documentary; it captures the raw essence of skating—the struggle, the beauty, and that unique bond between skaters and their environment. The film feels contemplative, almost meditative at times, as it explores the painstaking process of nailing tricks on film. There are moments where the atmosphere gets heavy, reflecting the dedication and sometimes brutal reality of skateboarding. The pacing is fluid, transitioning smoothly between moments of tension and release. What I found really distinctive is how it marries the artistry of film with the grit of the skate scene, making you appreciate both the craft and the culture more deeply.
