Girlfight | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Girlfight gets everything right: Its gritty bleak setting of a largely Hispanic Brooklyn neighborhood; the peeling walls and grimy atmosphere of the boxing gym... her bond with her sweet-natured brother and her combative relationship with her [father].

Kusama's talent as a filmmaker is obvious. Girlfight doesn't score a knockout, but it has moxy and some performances that guarantee that seeing it won't be a waste of time.

Girlfight brings freshness and enthusiasm to a routine we've seen several times over.

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.
