Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
It's fascinating to see the process by which skateboarding, in all its concrete grittiness, was transformed into a mainstream activity of consumer cool.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
An exhilarating and terrifying journey through youth-culture hell.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Packed to the rafters with fine old competition footage and clips from Vision's wildly popular skateboarding videos, but it's Gator's imprisoned voice ... that lends the film its most tragic overtones.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Offers a fascinating look into the skater's tumble from grace, as well as chronicling the renaissance of his rebel sport.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
By focusing on the self-immolation of the thoroughly despicable skateboarding star Mark "Gator" Rogowski, Stoked makes us all question the eternal chase for popularity and acceptance that takes up so much of daily life.
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
[An] unflinching documentary.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Gives us a succinct sense of an entire youth culture and the marketing of a fleeting mini-legend.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Despite Stickler's best efforts at putting his crimes into psychological and sociocultural context, Gator never emerges as anything but a blatant and outspoken -- and virulently brutal -- jerk.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The calculus of a craze's honest genesis, heady peak, exploitation, and burnout is so familiar by now as to be numbing, but Stoked makes it fresh because it has the primary sources at hand.
Dallas Morning News
Matt Weitz
Archival footage and interviews with contemporaries round out the rest of the film, illustrating Gator's life without really illuminating it.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The rise and fall of a pop-culture hero seems hardly noteworthy these days, yet Helen Stickler's documentary Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator resonates, with a tale so dark it's difficult to shake.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Excels as both a tragedy and a celebration of skateboarding, showing how mass marketing legitimized the sport while fueling Gator's demise.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A story that is unexpectedly poignant even though it's told to an insistent punk rock beat.
Variety
Scott Foundas
An account of an entire generation's loss of innocence -- a more streetwise variant on Stacy Peralta's fine Dogtown and Z-Boys.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Works effectively as a comprehensive biopic and as a cautionary tale, with wider applications, about the dangers of going too far too fast.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A skillfully organized account of Mr. Rogowski's life and of the sport's boom period.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Well depicts the darker side of our ephemeral, celebrity- worshipping culture.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
An absorbing and meticulous piece of reportage.
Newsday
John Anderson
On a strictly mechanical level, even skateboard fanatics likely will find it embarrassingly self-congratulatory.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
Serves up a gripping look at skate history through an investigation of one of its darker moments.
