Girlfight Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Karyn Kusama's film is a prescient and compelling consideration of gender identity and sports.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Ellen Futterman
Its richness comes from clear, straightforward storytelling and from a production that looks, feels and sounds amazingly natural.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
In the able and confident hands of director and writer Karyn Kusama, Girlfight becomes an unranked contender for most satisfying independent movie of the year.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The director and star both have unaffected styles that mesh perfectly for a movie that's uplifting and moving in a traditional Hollywood way, while also seeming as raw and unfiltered as cinéma vérité.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Christopher Kelly
What makes Girtfight such a chore to watch is that it isn't content to wallow in its own shamelessness.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
You get caught up in the story of an underdog whose fight represents the triumph of an outsider. And the movie's ragged technique only makes that struggle seem that much more authentic and pure.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
It's well-written and features a solid performance from Michelle Rodriguez in the leading role, but it's so unrelentingly morose that it becomes hard to watch.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The world of Girlfight feels real, and so does Rodriguez's Diana. You're with her every step of the way.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
If you don't think of Marlon Brando's smoldering power at some point during Girlfight, Karyn Kusama's splendid debut film about a young female boxer, you've probably never seen Brando perform.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Considering the unique possibilities of the sport and the star, Girlfight winds up in a disappointingly familiar place.
Slate
David Edelstein
Diana's fighting isn't about delivering knockout blows; it's about staying alert and winning on points. It's a means of self-control and of acquiring the self-knowledge on which self-control depends.
Film Comment Magazine
Gavin Smith
[Girlfight is] grounded in a precise, unemphatic naturalism.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
It gives its fine actors room to breathe and behave -- and in Michelle Rodriguez's case, glow.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
For once, the advance buzz has been amply justified, thanks to an extraordinarily charismatic film debut by a non-professional named Michelle Rodriguez.
Associated Press
Matt Wolf
For all the violence on view, Kusama's script insists on a real, wholly unsentimental tenderness.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
It's obvious Kusama knew what she wanted and was in control, because all the key roles and scenes are played with a uniform tone and conviction.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Rodriguez smolders with the beauty and intensity of a born star, and Kusama keeps her fearlessly on her feet with a movie that ducks no punches.
culturevulture.net
David Fear
It still qualifies as a 'feel-good' film, but it refuses to cop out with easy answers or false epiphanies; even the requisite happy ending is laced with a bittersweet melancholy.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
An intelligent, gutsy debut combo from Ms. Kusama and Ms. Rodriguez.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
This is a very winning debut film that features a powerful central performance.
