Another Exciting Trailer for ‘Christy’ Feat. Sydney Sweeney as a Boxer

“Get ready, honey. Christy Martin’s gonna knock you out!” 🥊 Christy has entered the ring and will kick your ass! Black Bear Pictures has debuted a second trailer for Christy, hitting theaters nationwide starting this weekend. It’s definitely worth watching on the big screen! “What does it take to become a legend?” The sports movie tells the story of of Christy Martin, the most successful female boxer of the 1990s. The TIFF description: “Featuring a career-best performance from Sydney Sweeney, the latest from David Michôd (also of Animal Kingdom) chronicles groundbreaking boxer Christy Martin’s fierce story of self-actualization in the face of terrifying adversity…” They continue: “Dealing with themes of misogyny, domestic violence, and sexual identity, the film does justice to Christy’s journey by being frank about the obstacles she overcame.” The cast also includes Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O’Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad Coleman, Bryan Hibbard, and Gilbert Cruz. I had a chance to watch this film and it’s damn good. Not only does it feature a terrific performance from Sweeney, there’s quite a few twists & turns in this story. Not so much about boxing as it is about fighting patriarchy & assholes, and also figuring out who you really are. // Continue Reading ›
