David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) directs this bruising biopic of Christy Martin, the most successful female boxer of the 90s.
“It’s a wrenching portrait of abuse, enabling, gaslighting, and just how far domestic violence can go. Yet… what was going on beneath her triumph is portrayed with a desperate and idiosyncratic honesty.” ~Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“As a platform for Sweeney to show her broad talents as an actress, Christy is undoubtedly successful, as she finds the heart and sadness within Christy Martin.” ~Ross Bonaime, Collider
“The film’s powerful message will resonate strongly with audiences, and while its conventional nature holds it back from true greatness, it makes the most of its strongest elements.” ~Dan Bayer, Next Best Picture
