Movie Reviews of Girlfight
Movie Review: Exceptional and don't miss this !
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Michelle Rodriguez before in Blue Crush but did not pay much attention to her as she had a supporting role and did not stand out in that particular movie.
Girlfight is quite different and is right up there as one of my favorite movies. Great storytelling by Director Karyn Kusama and the cast is superb. Kusama commented that the uncut version is 3 hours long. The movie draws you in and you care about the development of the characters. I would like to have seen the 3 hour version. How about a sequel?
You can always find faults with a movie if you wanted to but this is a very satisfying peformance and you find yourself rooting for the two lovers.
There appears to be only a full screen version the DVD. I wish a HIGH DEFINITION wide screen Blue Ray version of the disc is available.
Summary of Girlfight
The story of a quick-tempered young woman who finds discipline self-respect and love in the boxing ring. Once diana decides she wants to become a boxer her priorities are forced into focus as she begins a grueling training regimen. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/22/2005 Starring: Michelle Rodriguez Paul Calderon Run time: 110 minutes Rating: R Director: Karyn KusamaFirst-time director Karyn Kusama tells a simple but compelling story of a young woman in Brooklyn whose violent impulses in school, and her tendency to physicalize her anger, lead her to train as a boxer. Her trainer at first puts her off, but the combination of her desire and her physical prowess changes his mind. As played by Michelle Rodriguez, Diane is a scowling lightning rod for sudden violence who discovers that she can find a sense of personal grace in boxing--in the training and in the honing of skills--that seems to spill over into her daily life, despite the disapproval of an abusive father. Kusama isn't telling a new story here, but she tells a familiar one with a sense of passion and pride in the uncharted territory this represents for women. Though a romantic subplot seems almost tacked on as an afterthought--Diane must box the boy she loves--Girlfight is engaging and even touching. -Marshall Fine
