Audience Member Gripping and fly-on-the-wall and peaceful. Very much up my alley. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Explores the world of a boxing gym in Austin, Texas, dwelling on the discipline of training as people from all walks of life aspire to reach their personal best. The film examines what violence looks like when it's a controlled outlet, as opposed to a spontaneous one. The only word of caution is that Boxing Gym is all without comment, letting the rhythm of the place tell the story, so be prepared to pay attention to everything you see and hear. One critic said of Boxing Gym: 'The soundscape is endlessly fascinating, a layer cake of squeaks, grunts, gasps, and rattling chains that, combined, catches a rhythm that sounds an awful lot like song'. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple premise, the interworkings of a boxing gym in Ausin, Texas. Just you and the people in the gym, but intriguing, poetic, and real. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member When a documentary is able to show the beauty, the art behind a sport, it's already worth seeing it. But when through the sport we have a glimpse of the state of the American society, its culture, its way of life, its values, its dysfunctions, then, a "mere" documentary becomes an artistic master-work, on par with the greatest films of fiction. Really gripping and moving. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Reflective and trancelike. Brilliant. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member a documentary without any commentaries, interviews, or information references. it only captured the people, the actions, the chatting, the life of the boxing gym itself. many beautiful long takes of boxing foot-steps / boxing bag practising with nice rhythm. I have never seen boxing so rhythmic. To reach your best - let's get into a boxing gym now! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
