Betty nicely expands the Skate Kitchen universe with a dramedy that is an authentic and endearing look at sisterhood and the trials of burgeoning adulthood.

"Betty" may be imperfect, but it is incredibly refreshing in its girl power politics.
April 30, 2020
By focusing on the dynamic between characters instead of teenage romance, Moselle and company have successfully done away with the failings of their previous collaboration.

Some viewers may complain Betty goes nowhere, or moves too muddily. I found its languor soothing, an emancipating celebration of femme self-acceptance.

Effortlessly cool, BETTY grounds itself in its rebellious roots.

It's Larry Clark's Kids without the rebel fetishism and suffocating nihilism. Mostly, though, Betty is a tribute to these women who Moselle adores, and who wants you to adore as much as she does.

The show often feels more like a documentary than a scripted show. But it is, and an especially well-plotted one given that it only has six episodes to give everyone a decently satisfying arc.
April 30, 2020
A spontaneous and deeply sincere drama about living and skating freely.

The style is vérité, the stunts are hair-raising... But this "Betty" is mostly just funny, with a memorable cast.

These conversations, culled from real life, the type that really blur the line between acting and observing fully formed characters in their natural habitats, expand on the movie and offer an immersive, cathartic hangout.
May 01, 2020
More observational than dramatic, it is filmed with enormous panache, in a vivid style that contrasts with the mostly mundane group conversations among the characters.

Is it possible that young skater girls will tune into "Betty" just to see themselves represented on screen? Maybe. Their real lives, though, are surely more interesting than this.
