Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter An impressively polished debut feature, admirably ambitious and elegantly crafted. Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com The acting is solid in this tale of a post WWII boxing match, but it is the music and cinematography that make it great. Rated: 8/10 Jan 30, 2021 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times "A" for effort. Unmistakable parallels to Malik's "The Tree of Life," but with none of the profundity. A movie this artistically good-looking begs for some nuggets of wisdom beyond fleeting cherry blossoms equaling boxers having short shelf lives. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 11, 2020 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com The film is a flourish of style, with strong direction eliciting top-shelf performances from a no-name cast and filling the film with tough dramatic scenes and lyrical visuals that rework a standard scenario into a package we've never really seen before. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Hunter Lanier Film Threat In Full Bloom functions as a visually exciting tone poem and as a soulful reflection on battle. Rated: 7/10 Jun 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I loved being on the journey with both fighters. The winter scenes were stunning and the fight reminded me of Hajime no Ippo...so sick! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Something really fresh and beautiful. Combines beautiful cinematography, a period piece, themed of honor and and courage, and brings it all to the boxing genre. It will have a place in the great boxing films of all time. A must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched this with my wife last night and we were kind of left in awe. Its so unique but also feels like I've seen it before. Obviously the movie is beautiful so kudos to them for capturing the beauty. The acting can seem wooden at times, but it kind of works? Or maybe I'm just a super fan now haha. Anyways loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member What a movie! Unique, beautiful and full of life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite film of the year! It reminds me of an anime Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Really beautiful film. Loved every moment! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
