Reception
According to Regan Reid from Vice, the film focuses on the positive effects of the roller derby community rather than the "devastating aspects" of Crystal's life. Instead of concentrating on the struggles faced by members the LBGT community, it instead focuses on their day to day lives.[5] The film has received generally positive reviews.[6][7] According to The Roaming Life, "The film clearly demonstrates the importance of finding a community full of people you can look up to when you’re young and transgender." It describes the film as an example of "the power that cinema can have".[4] Pat Mullen, a member of the Online Film Critics Society, describes the film as an "inspiring and empowering" documentary but criticized the stories beginning as "a bit unfocused as Tremblay and editor Dan Litzinger crosscut almost too many stories".[3]
