The film intimately follows champion boxer Katie Taylor as she attempts to rebuild her career after a year of turmoil threatened to derail her career. With many writing her off, Taylor decided to start again, and the notoriously private champion agreed to let a small crew document her attempt to rescale the heights. Katie Taylor has won six amateur European championships, five world amateur championships and is an Olympic Gold Medal winner from the London 2012 Olympic Games. She turned professional after a disastrous campaign at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, which saw her crash out in the first round despite being favorite to win. The film unravels the deeply personal reasons behind the career low and shows the champions grit and determination to start over as a professional.

Donald Clarke Irish Times Buffed with stirring fight sequences, the picture stands as a polite argument for the greatness of a figure almost everyone already loves. Rated: 4/5 Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International Domestic audiences will want to hear Katie's words, but international crowds should also respond well to this beautifully crafted story of a supreme athlete who thrives by defying the odds. Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Hagan Osborne FILMINK (Australia) ...a spirited look at the strength of women. Rated: 17/20 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review John Boland Irish Independent As the final credits rolled, it was hard not to feel that we still don't know what makes our greatest sportswoman tick. That, though, seems to be the way she wants it, and good luck to her. Jan 22, 2019 Full Review Gemma Creagh Film Ireland Magazine Director Ross Whittaker torments the audience with tension. Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Chris Wasser The Herald (Ireland) It's a beautiful documentary, basically, and Katie Taylor comes out of it looking very well, indeed. It's a bit of a knockout.

LABEL 2 与其说是纪录电影还不如说是专题新闻报道。本片对传主的纪录完全流于表面,凯蒂与父亲的决裂、凯蒂的新生活都被展现得语焉不详,而索然无味的职业拳手生涯却在片中占了最大的比重。观众与传主的距离在观影后未能拉近分毫,纪录片能拍成这样也挺少见的。 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Really loved this movie. Beautifully shot and Katie is such a sympathetic and important person as a role model for girls and women. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
