Boxer

Well written and you have sympathy with some of the key characters. I love most boxing films and this didn't fail to entertain. Some comedy, drama and emotional scenes all done quite well. It's a little long if I do have one complaint. The start is dragged out and could have been reduced.

The ending was quite fitting and wrapped up the movie quite well. Everyone acted really well. It's the first Polish Film I have seen and it's made me want to venture into the world of Polish cinema is this is anything to go by.

If you have 2.5 hrs to kill, this isn't a bad was to spend it.

It's a great little gem.

Movie is great. Story is interesting. The characthers in the movie are made well. They all have nice story and are presented in interesting way. I really like way how they stories are interpreted.

It is really a movie that you will watch and enyoj. I reccomend to watch this movie in any time. Good luck.

As a non Polish speaker I really enjoyed this movie with subtitles. It was one of the rare movies that was interesting from beginning to end! The way the story came out kept me always on the edge of my seat! Highly recommended & I would love for more movies like this from a Polish film perspective. I felt that also it was uniquely filmed & it left me with a strong feeling! As someone who loves sports movies I can say this isn't limited to just sports. The theme goes far deeper with relationships, love, deep emotion, and the human struggle! The rawness and nothing to hold back attitude of the movie was simply amazing! And lastly I want to say the actors did a fantastic job especially the leading roles! Makes me interested in the Polish movie industry which I didn't expect. Just watcher this because I saw it from Netflix and was left happily surprised with the movie!

"Boxer" has its moments but ultimately feels a bit stretched, clocking in at a runtime that could have been trimmed. The story holds promise, but the lead actor's performance falls flat, lacking the depth necessary for a compelling protagonist. However, the main actress shines with a captivating performance that adds some much-needed real emotions to the film. Unfortunately, the boxing scenes miss the mark; they're filled with unrealistic, wide haymakers that no professional would throw, undermining the sport's authenticity. Overall, while there are highlights, "Boxer" fails to deliver a knockout punch.

Boxer tells the story of a young boy with a troubled upbringing, dominated by his abusive father. Despite his difficult childhood, the boy excels in chemistry, a talent that takes a backseat after his father's death when he transitions into the world of boxing. The movie captures his rise to fame, with Eryk Kulm delivering an outstanding performance as the protagonist. His portrayal of a boxer grappling with fame and internal demons is both powerful and nuanced.

The boxing scenes, while good, could have been more polished. Some moments lacked the intensity that makes boxing films truly stand out. Nevertheless, the story holds its own, particularly as it touches on the emotional and cultural realities of Polish sportsmen seeking opportunities abroad. While this is often viewed as a loss for the country, Boxer frames it as a narrative of triumph.

The movie is consistently engaging, though it is occasionally interrupted by a few boring scenes every 15-20 minutes, which slightly disrupt the overall flow. Despite these small hiccups, Boxer is an entertaining film that offers a compelling blend of personal struggle, sports, and Polish cultural commentary.
