Reviews
"Your energy and strength raise Karyn Kusama's debut far beyond a milieu study and a rising drama."
"Michelle Rodríguez, previously without acting experience, surpasses all professionals in terms of inner tension and expression."
"Not only is an excellent film to be seen here, but a huge discovery to be made: 'Girlfight' is presented by the charismatic newcomer Michelle Rodríguez."
“You can see the main actress Michelle Rodríguez playing with breathtaking intensity. The two women (Rodriguez and Kusama) succeed in developing their own, very precise visual language of emotions from the strict choreography of the boxing match. "
