Our take
An all-star, all-female cast achieves perfect chemistry in this endlessly delightful coming-of-age story. With an irresistible soundtrack (including The Strokes, Peaches, and MGMT) that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the noughties, Whip It looks like it was as fun to make as it is to watch.
