Critics consensus

“Beautiful Boxer blends boxing and identity politics to create a striking, if overdrawn, portrait of self discovery.”

RTChicago ReaderApr 12, 2010

The cinematography tends toward cramped framing and busy composition but opens up nicely for the exciting fight sequences.

RTBBC.comAug 9, 2005

An inspiring drama which, despite its uneven nature, still manages to pack a punch.

C

RTDallas Morning NewsApr 21, 2005

Manages to take a story that Jerry Springer would love and turn it into a sober and sensitive character study about identity and self-determination.
