Review:

Christy is a biographical sports drama charting the rise of trailblazing boxer Christy Martin and the harrowing personal battles she faced outside the ring. Sydney Sweeney delivers a committed, physically transformative performance that anchors the film’s emotional message, while Ben Foster brings unsettling intensity as her controlling husband and trainer, Jim Martin. As Christy’s success in the ring accelerates, the pressures of fame and control behind the scenes begin to take uneasy precedence over her career, forcing her to confront who she is both as an athlete and as a person. Christy presents a portrait of determination, endurance, and survival, highlighting the strength required to fight both inside and outside the ring.
