United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"An irresistible hangout movie (...) What’s most impressive is how well each of these first-time actors manage to retain their own personalities while stepping up to the challenge of carrying a whole film"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Atmosphere-rich narrative debut benefits from the chemistry between its drawn-from-the-streets leads"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"There is interesting friction between the male skaters and the female ones (...) The script has a funny looseness to it, capturing girl-talk in a way few features manage to"	POS
Canada	Jake Howell The Globe and Mail	"There is something about 'Skate Kitchen' that feels undeniably alive (...) The film feels so vibrant..."	POS
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"Moselle is at her most astute when concentrating on the fragile social dynamics that govern the tribes adolescents divide themselves into for survival’s sake (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Many of its moments perfectly capture the delight and dread of a summer in the city at an age when you may think you’re invincible"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"A fantastically set mood piece; a study in movement and freedom and how it feels to be young."	POS
