The Last Grind

About This Movie

The Last Grind is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and thriller that dives into the chaos of adolescent life against a backdrop of loss and desperation. Brock, the protagonist, navigates through some heavy themes, like grief and the pursuit of identity, all while trying to make sense of his surroundings. The pacing feels organic, reflecting the erratic nature of teenage life, and you can feel the gritty atmosphere of Adelaide's underbelly. The performances, particularly that of Brock's mum, who has this quirky obsession with Peter Brock, are rich and layered, adding depth to the otherwise chaotic narrative. The film’s practical effects during the skateboarding sequences really stand out, giving it a raw authenticity that's often missing in modern cinema.
