'Christy' Review: Why Sydney Sweeney's Boxing Biopic Never Lands a Knockout

Image
‎David Michôd’s Christy sets out to tell the story of Christy Martin, the groundbreaking boxer who rose to fame in the 1990s, but the film struggles to match the intensity of its subject. Starring Sydney Sweeney in a physically demanding role, the biopic blends sports drama with domestic violence narrative yet rarely lands a knockout blow. ‎ ‎David Michôd’s Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney as boxer Christy Martin, falters with flat drama and late, uneven intensity. ‎Courtesy of TIFF ‎ ‎The film opens as a standard rise-to-glory sports story. Christy, a West Virginia basketball player, stumbles into boxing and discovers a devastating right hand. Under promoter Larry (Bill Kelly), she racks up victories as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” winning over fans but leaving little dramatic tension for the audience. Her fights, staged with polished choreography, lack real suspense until bouts with Deirdre Gogarty and Laila Ali inject much-needed urgency. ‎ ‎Michôd seems most engaged onc...

'Orphan' Review: László Nemes' Post-War Coming-of-Age Drama Explores Trauma, Identity, and Family Secrets in 1950s Budapest

Image
‎The impact of war on families has long provided powerful narratives for cinema, where trauma lingers and fractured identities shape the lives of survivors.
