Day of the Fight Ratings & Reviews
W Chaz Bonney
April 22, 2025
Epic acting all the way around and beautifully shot and directed,,,,

Leonard Maltin
The Day of the Fight marks the writing and directing debut of actor Jack Huston, and it's a film he can point to with pride-it's a creditable and entertaining genre piece
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This is basically a more pretentious, arted-up recycling of sentimental cliches you've seen a million times before, in everything from The Champ to Rocky, Fat City and Raging Bull.
AMFM Magazine
Paul Salfen
It's the kind of movie that you just don't see enough anymore that serves as an homage to the great fight films before it but also has a fresh take that's raw yet very touching. It's the underdog that turned out to be the main event.
Den of Geek
Joe George
When Mike fights, it's not a man to man battle. It's a struggle of people trying to support and forgive one another, despite sometimes disastrous mistakes. It's a fight for grace, something so rarely found inside the boxing ring.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This black-and-white drama doesn't bring anything new to the boxing genre-it's a bit familiar and regimented-but it's deeply thoughtful and moving, with a nicely gritty, chilly atmosphere.
Boston Movie News
James Verniere
In the poetic, fairy-tale-like boxing movie, "Day of the Fight" a former world champion goes on a quest. The film has a great cast, a dark beauty, a heart the size of the Empire State Building and the shooting style of a born storyteller.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
With stylish black-and-white visuals, the film could use some tightening yet keeps punching.
North Shore Movies
Sean Burns
An endearingly corny, gorgeously acted homage. The encounters are all straight out of 1950s melodrama, which can be great when the actors are as committed as the cast is here.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Huston's directorial debut may tip its hand at the outset, the down and out boxer trying for one more shot at the brass ring a well worn cliche, but the film is so well acted, has so much heart and has such a stylized look that it throws a knock out punch
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Pitt's all-in performance and an impressive supporting cast supply enough roughhouse wit and Brooklyn grit to hold up scenes that might have otherwise gone down for the count.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"The Day of the Fight" punches above its weight because of the acting might of Pitt and the incredible black-and-white cinematography from Peter Simonite.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
"Day of the Fight" is an unabashed genre picture that manages to be both the kind of movie they supposedly don't make like they used to, and also something bracingly fresh.
Collider
Jeff Ewing
It may not feel fully original, and some moments could be honed, but it's a solid, visually gorgeous outing from Huston anchored by an excellent central performance from Michael Pitt.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Writer/director Jack Huston stuns in a remarkable feature debut fueled by raw honesty, reconciliation, and unstoppable grit. Michael Pitt rivet as he mends all fences in Day of the Fight.
Next Best Picture
Dan Bayer
While "Day of the Fight" is no classic, it's a welcome standout in the world of boxing films and a promising debut for Jack Huston behind the camera.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Sometimes lumbering though always well-intentioned, it's an ode to tales of lovable, scrappy galoots who keep a glint in their pummeled eyes.
RogerEbert.com
Craig D. Lindsey
As far as palooka pictures go, "Day of the Fight" is familiar but effective.
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
Sounds from its plot description like a parade of cliches, and it certainly is that. But everything about the filmmaking is first-rate- the black-and-white cinematography, the lighting, the music, and the small performances
Austin Chronicle
Alejandra Martinez
The emotional preoccupations of the movie show a screenwriter tuned into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, and Huston knows how to get truly moving work out of his cast.
