JK Sooja Common Sense Media 10/24/2024
This boxing drama is too long, full of contrivances, and simply doesn't do enough to justify its length. Go to Full Review
Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community 09/16/2024
6.5/10
The best thing Boxer (2024) has going is the fact that underneath the predictable formula, there still is an interesting story about immigration. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
It’s not the rags-to-riches stories that you expect the movie to be. Boxer gives a premise with the hopes of a Rocky franchise, but it’s surprisingly way more serious and grim. Go to Full Review

Although not particularly memorable or unique, Polish film Bokser is entertaining and mostly hits the right notes. Go to Full Review

Everything after the moment Jedrzej and Kasia land in England is so predictable that you can tell where the narrative is going to go with your eyes closed. Go to Full Review

bushmaster 12/10/2024 A fun and dramatic movie, I cried and laughed. Great ending. Good and complex characters. The story is a bit predictable, but for what the movie sets out to do, it gets almost everything right. I recommend it! See more Aazim C 09/19/2024 The fights could have been a little better but the storyline is good its good writing if the fights was Better I would have give it 5 stars it’s worth a watch will it win a Emmy award probably not but it’s good for what it is it’s a good movie not a great movie but a good movie 3.5/5 See more P W 09/16/2024 There cant be another Rocky, but this is another angle on a different story that happened in Europe. Very well played emotions, and actors' work. It has substance, not just plain Hollywood boxing movie. It will resonate well with those who witnessed similar changes in their countries. Must say it took my attention with all the proper details and psychological state changes that one expects in such life situation. Past, modern, relatable. Make up and clothing worked very strong. I believed it all. Perhaps a stronger resolution at the end was needed to leave some print on viewers mind – either mega positive or negative, but that's up to the writer. See more Angie M 09/12/2024 It captures the essence of immigrating, the nuances of how immigrants are perceived with limited English skill and the cultural difference of the open exuberance of the Polish people vs the Reserved nature of the English. The blending of the Polish and English language is spot on as well, the longer immigrants stayed outside of the county the more blended the two language became in conversation. You really have had to live though the experience to re-live the experience thought this movie. Worth seeing 100% See more Read all reviews
