A well-made film that achieves more than one would expect from the heralded subject matter. It is the story of a young girl in a poor area who wants to be a boxer. That she succeeds is only part of the movie - although this alone would have made it well worth watching. The heroine's romance with a male boxer (who she beats in the ring) tells an immeasurable story of feminist liberation and the men who rise to the challenge of being equal (rather than dominant or subservient).
