Critic Reviews

Amy Taubin

As smooth and powerfully packed as its protagonist. Read full review

Shawn Levy

The chief problem with Shadow Boxers is that it's too short. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Could use more background and personal detail on Rijker, but Bankowsky's tight, no- frills approach is always compelling. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Upbeat. Read full review

Wesley Morris

What makes Shadow Boxers special is how Bankowsky restores the woman's touch that always seems intentionally excised from coverage of the sport without comprising their participation in the sport. Read full review

Hannah Brown

A compelling and beautifully photographed documentary. Read full review

Ted Shen

Compensates with a sharp sense of rhythm, using hip-hop and turntablist sounds by Zoel to fuel Anthony Hardwick and Tony Wolberg's aggressive cinematography. Read full review
