Whip It (12, 2009, 102mins) 
Whip It (2009) welcomes you to the world of sweaty eyeliner, rebel-girl culture, and grown women on roller skates shoving each other as an act of rebellion and female empowerment. We watch Bliss as she trades in her Texan beauty-pageant lifestyle for a new-found passion: Roller Derby. Featuring Elliot Page, Kristen Wiig and Drew Barrymore as The Hurl Scouts, Whip It is sure to take you for a ride. Come down to Heart Headingly for a film that never takes itself too seriously, complete with a banging indie soundtrack.
