"I saw this film at the AFI Film Festival in Hollywood. The true story of Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) who popularized women's boxing. Some of the initial boxing montages are unnecessary (you will get the point that Christy was good quickly) but recommended for Sweeney's performance and especially Ben Foster's performance as her jerk of trainer/husband. Direction and cinematography were adequate. Bottom line: a good film but not an outstanding one...."
💡 Did You Know?
Sydney Sweeney gained 30 pounds to play boxer Christy Martin. She also went through about 3 1/2 months of training, which involved weight-training in the morning for an hour, kickboxing midday for about two hours, and weight-training again at night for an hour. She said in an interview with W magazine, "My body was completely different. I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god. But it was amazing. I was so strong, like crazy strong."
