Girlfight | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

This is one of those movies that affects you physically as you're walking out of the theatre. Musicals make you feel like you can tap-dance. Girlfight makes you feel like you clean somebody's clock.

Its richness comes from clear, straightforward storytelling and from a production that looks, feels and sounds amazingly natural.

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.

This longshot film has Rocky-like implications going for it on either side of the camera. Safe to say, now, that Kusama is taking lunch with every heavy in Hollywood, and that Rodriguez could well be the next break-out star in the biz.

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.
