'Griptape' opens with an innocent skateboard deal between two enthusiasts. Soon after, it develops to reveal to us the relationship that the protagonist, Charlie shares with his girlfriend Lexi. However, little does Charlie, or the viewer, know that his world is about to come crashing down as he simply sits and enjoys a bowl of pasta.
The relationship, or what follows in the aftermath of its end, becomes the focal point on which the narrative pivots. As the viewer is allowed an interaction with Breakup 101 - shaving your hair, getting a tattoo, and being reminded of your former lover despite, and perhaps even, because of all your efforts, the film comes into its own.
Notwithstanding a few rough edges, the storytelling and its execution leaves one with an endearing, and sincere final result. It further paves the path for more such endeavors by the team, ensuring that 'Griptape' in itself remains an honest story of hurt, heartbreak, but also the inexorably forward moving course of life.
