"When Doves Cry - the new film from Bode Merrill - is a deep dive into the duality of his love for snowboarding. From the highs of stacking clips with the crew to the physical and mental toll of battling a trick on camera. And there's plenty of pain on display. This might take the crown for the most bails in any movie this winter, laying bare the full suffer-fest that filming a part can become."
"But with every yin, there's a yang. The movie is absolutely packed with feel-good bangers from a who's who of modern snowboarding. We couldn't help noticing that Stefi Luxton, Pat Fava and Phil Hansen crop up yet again - did those three even sleep last winter? Other highlights include: the best horror skit we've seen in snowboard cinema for years"
