Alejandra Martinez

Austin Chronicle

The emotional preoccupations of the movie show a screenwriter tuned into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, and Huston knows how to get truly moving work out of his cast.

Variety

The light and shade here is all in Peter Simonite’s splendid, inky-shadowed monochrome lensing; Huston’s visual sense outweighs his screenwriting.

Screen International

While it is clearly executed with ambition and directorial flair, it is something less than a resounding KO.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Day of the Fight has ambition and some good performances, but it lacks the originality to stand out from other sports movies.

Rated: 2.5/5

Damon Wise

Deadline Hollywood Daily

It’s a little earnest, sometimes a bit too style-conscious, and Huston is inclined to put performance before story every time. But the emotional input really earns its payoff in a confident, imaginatively mounted calling card.

An homage to a kind of cinema that isn’t made much anymore.
