Whip It
Drew Barrymore makes a confident move into the director’s chair with this rollicking sports comedy set in the bruising world of competitive roller-skating. Ellen (Juno) Page is the tough Texas tomboy encouraged to enter beauty pageants by her doting mom Marcia Gay Harden. A clandestine trip to a roller derby night in Austin introduces her to a world of kneepads and fishnets and derby girls called Iron Maven and Bloody Holly. The girl has found her true home and never looks back as she starts leading a thrilling double-life. Great fun especially when you realise that all the famous names did their own stunts.
