"Minding the Gap" starts as a mix of a skate video and autobiographical documentary about director Bing Liu, but it very naturally expands to include two of his closest friends and ultimately topics including abuse and domestic violence. It's a powerful film that offers three young men and the ways that they react to the abuse they experienced. It's a beautifully empathetic movie, largely because the subjects are the director and two friends that he cares deeply about. "Minding the Gap" may well be one of the most definitive cinematic statements on adults grappling with having been abused as children, and the fact that it grows into that from its humble beginnings as a fun documentary about skating is truly awe-inspiring.
