It is not for everybody, if you are expecting a movie like Rocky or those blockbusters, this is not like that. It shows both fighter perspectives and why are they are fighting, it might be really, but really slow but when you see the box scene, it is totally worth it, I think that scene is the main movie

There is beauty in this film that you will rarely find in cinema nowadays. Every single shot has been so painstakingly crafted, colors exuberantly vibrant, with the scenery carefully chosen for each location so uniquely palpable it's breathtaking at even the most simple of moments.
The story is about a boxing match, but if you think that's the core of its purpose, you are inherently mistaken. This is about a fight yes, but a fight within ourselves is harder to overcome than merely hand to hand combat. The score is absolutely incredible, transcending you with each scene as it lays perfectly balanced with you emotionally.
'I suppose everyone is lost in their own wilderness.' To quote Masahiro, you will definitely find yourself in the wilderness of our characters, as there is everything you'd want in this story, with challenges and relationships built that you will carry with you long after this is over. You will laugh at loud at some moments, breaking you from the weight this fight has over beloved main characters. It does more than entertain, its invokes FEELING.
The battle between these two warriors and within themselves is elegantly fought, purposely displayed for our minds to wander into our own battles. It's passionate. It's rage. It's palpable emotionally. Its cuts deep into the true unwavering reminder of our own mortality. 'Life is so tragically short, but beautiful.'
It's everything I want in a story, and it's everything YOU should want. Well done team, well done.

I'am surprise about the reviews and the rate I thought its sth like undisputed because of the rate but unfortunately i just wasted my time in this alot of bla bla bla its so boring it didn't get my attention at all I don't know where is the drama in this they was just acting good but for what, if u wanna skip the most of the movie and get direct to the 1 fight at the end you can do but i bet you will not be sympathetic and it is so predictable
I do understand why people could not be into it... however, that also means that I understand why people love it because I am one of them.
This movie was written, directed and shot all by the same two guys, who seem to be putting out their first film. The picture here is mesmerizing and beautiful to watch from the beginning to the end. It was also an amazing experience, it's one of those films that you just give yourself over to. If you are a fan of cinema then I think you will absolutely love this. BUT I say cinema, not movies. They're different.

2019 has been a great year for debut films. Directors, Adam VillaSenor and Reza Ghassemi, have created such an intriguing world in their debut film. I don't think I've seen a movie like this one. It is equally poetic and thrilling. The real stand out aspect for this movie is the cinematography and shots. Really well done and creative. It is somewhat slow in certain spots which is why Im giving it a 9 rather than a 10. But I will give the parts a pass because of how great the film is overall. Also, the boxing sequences at the end of the film are truly amazing. Don't think Ive seen it done like that before. I will recommend to anyone who likes slow burn and visually interesting type of films.
