Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com “Uppercut” feels like it’s two different movies, or maybe two short films, jerry-rigged together into a feature. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Uppercut's nerve centre operates from an aggrieved, entitled protagonist that is barely held to account and little room for growth, let alone pay off. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast Uppercut feels disjointed, with a protagonist who skirts around deeper themes without truly engaging. A strong performance from Ving for what it’s worth. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture The movie is a tedious dead zone of drama. Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Perhaps it was all lost in translation, but this remake of a German-language drama just doesn't work. Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue This character-driven boxing drama is too disjointed and unconvincing to land any of its emotional punches.

Audience Member A film not worth anything at all Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review M K Wasted two hours of my life that I can’t get back ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Tor D 1,5 часа пустого трепа, это вам не левша и не малышка на миллион Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Naja H It’s not your typical boxing movie – and that’s exactly why it stays with you. It’s not about punches, it’s about people. About fighting in life, not just in the ring. It feels real. Raw. At times quiet, at times intense. The chemistry between the leads caught me off guard – in the best way. There’s something very human about it. Just... give it a chance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
