Girlfight Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Matt Wolf
For all the violence on view, Kusama's script insists on a real, wholly unsentimental tenderness.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
There's just enough genuine grit and spirit in Girlfight to keep it from being knocked to the canvas by indie earnestness.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Karyn Kusama's film is a prescient and compelling consideration of gender identity and sports.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Girlfight, for its skill and theme, will please many. It's a shame it's no knockout.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
[Rodriguez] looks a little like Marlon Brando in his smoldering prime, and she has some of his slow, intense physicality. She doesn't so much transcend gender as redefine it.
