Critic Reviews
A terrific little uppercut of a boxing movie and close to a perfect one.
Refreshing and surprising, the way independent movies are supposed to be.
Gets everything right.
Rodriguez is riveting, with a drop-dead cynical charm.
There's a sense of genuineness throughout Girlfight.
A strong, stinging film, alive with conflicts that defy glib resolutions.
Gives its fine actors room to breathe and behave--and in Michelle Rodriguez's case, glow.
A coming-of-age tale that truly floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
Rodriguez, who never acted before auditioning for the director, is utterly convincing, fluid and determined and jaded and wild like any teen-ager, but with a bracing spirit and a shocking store of ferocity.
Girlfight, for its skill and theme, will please many. It's a shame it's no knockout.
Confirms its place as one of the best first films in recent memory, and one of this year's very best films.
A modest project with an agreeably modest point of view, but it cries out for a sharp, believable naturalism Kusama simply doesn't supply.
