Southpaw Ratings & Reviews
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
About as subtle as a right uppercut to the jaw, Southpaw is nonetheless a welcome addition to the boxing melodrama genre.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The modicum of pleasure delivered by "Southpaw" arrives thanks to its cast, who struggle bravely and energetically with the hopelessly bland text and the invisible, impersonal direction.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
Jake Gyllenhaal continues his streak of brilliant performances the Academy will likely ignore.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
I veered between being awed and appalled, though mostly the latter.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
"Southpaw" is a tremendous accomplishment of mainstream cinematic craft, a near-perfect match of director, material and star.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
When you look past Fuqua's jittery directing, which dices up shots and leans the camera close into its star's painstakingly battered mug, Southpaw is a melange of familiar fighter movie ideas and images going back to Rocky.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Just as director Antoine Fuqua starts to close in on something interesting and unexpected, he retreats to the safety of his corner and gives us what we've seen too many times before: a predictable flurry of melodramatic jabs.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Even when we're aware our emotions are being manipulated, we're rooting hard for Billy Hope to beat the odds and climb the mountain, because have you seen how movie-adorable his daughter is? Don't they deserve some happiness?
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's Gyllenhaal -- physically ferocious yet tenderly forlorn -- who sells the movie, putting both the beast and the heartbeat within on full display.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The trouble with how hard Gyllenhaal goes in Southpaw is that he's in the service of weak material, so you notice the effort.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Despite its supposedly hard-hitting veneer, the film never goes out on a limb when it counts.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
When Billy's smart, ardent wife Maureen (Rachel McAdams) warns him that he'll be "punch-drunk in two years," she seems off by at least 18 months.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
In the end "Southpaw" knocks itself to the mat.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Heartfelt performances by Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, and Forest Whitaker give the story more weight than it deserves.
The New Republic
Elaine Teng
The film is set up like a straightforward redemption story, but what makes Southpaw interesting is the complexity of Hope's character -- thanks to Gyllenhaal's exceptional performance.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Southpaw" is proof of contrivance's clout, but there is a limit to what it can do.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Gyllenhaal gives his all, but he can't make this one a winner.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
As for the in-the-ring bob, weave, clash, clutch? Well, those disappointed by May's impossibly hyped Mayweather-Pacquiao bout should enjoy the care director Fuqua takes in delivering the sweet science to the big screen.
NPR
Chris Klimek
Every plot turn is as telegraphed as a tomato can's jab. I didn't care: Enough of it felt earned to me that Southpaw wins on points.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
Call him "Joltin' Jake" Gyllenhaal, because the actor adds needed presence and punch to the melodrama of Southpaw.
