Anne T. Donahue Globe and Mail Knuckle City cannot be overlooked. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Alyssia Birjalal Independent Online (South Africa) Knuckle City is a truly authentic take on the boxing culture in Mdantsane, the boxing mecca of South Africa... Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Courtney Small In The Seats Bathed in a sea of poverty and corruption, Knuckle City challenges traditional notions of masculinity to expose how toxic and destructive it is. Rated: 4/5 Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage Knuckle City doesn't seek to forgive these men and their deplorable actions, but instead contextualize where that ingrained misogyny, toxicity, and violence comes from. Rated: B- Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Kelsey Adams NOW Toronto Qubeka's take on the boxing movie is a visceral descent into chaos, spurred by toxic masculinity and how it breaks the body and mind. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Raquel Stecher Quelle Movies absolutely riveting and just plain brutal. This film is gritty and intense and it grabs hold of you and doesn't let go.
