Our take
This MA 15+ biopic follows boxer Christy Martin's rise and abusive marriage, rated for language, violence and bloody images, some drug use and sexual material. Ring blood, strangling, coerced kinks, repeated cocaine use and frequent profanity run through it. A powerful but harsh portrait of abuse; best for mature viewers 17+ with content warnings.
Uplifting themes
Survival, self-advocacy and breaking abuse cycles Christy's grit inspires despite painful compromises Raises awareness of abuse in sports and LGBTQ history
Story (may spoil tone)
Christy Martin never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia—until she discovered a knack for punching people. Fueled by grit, raw determination, and an unshakable desire to win, she charges into the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and manager-turned-husband, Jim. But while Christy flaunts a fiery persona in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it—confronting family, identity, and a relationship that just might become life-or-death.
