Roller Wings

About This Movie

Roller Wings is a quirky little TV movie from 1990 that has its own unique charm. The atmosphere feels very much like a product of its time, kind of nostalgic and a bit offbeat. The pacing? It’s a mix of light and heavier tones, like they couldn't quite decide if they were leaning into the drama or the comedy, which gives it an interesting flow. The performances are pretty earnest, with a few moments that genuinely pull you in. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain homemade quality that adds to the overall feel. It’s not flashy, but it captures something of the era's innocence and exploration, making it stand out in a sea of typical made-for-TV films.
