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.

4/5
Buffed with stirring fight sequences, the picture stands as a polite argument for the greatness of a figure almost everyone already loves. Go to Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International 07/16/2018
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. Go to Full Review Hagan Osborne FILMINK (Australia) 03/25/2021

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. Go to Full Review Gemma Creagh Film Ireland Magazine 10/31/2018

It's a beautiful documentary, basically, and Katie Taylor comes out of it looking very well, indeed. It's a bit of a knockout. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

LABEL 2 03/17/2024 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。 See more 08/11/2019 Really loved this movie. Beautifully shot and Katie is such a sympathetic and important person as a role model for girls and women. See more Read all reviews
