Christy

Step into the ring… From acclaimed Australian director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom, The King), comes CHRISTY; the gripping, gritty and raw portrait of Christy Martin, the most successful female boxer of the 90s. Sydney Sweeney punches out a career-best performance in the titular lead role that received critical acclaim following the sports drama’s buzzy premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Based on the extraordinary life of Christy Martin, the film chronicles Christy’s hard-fought rise to becoming America’s most prominent female boxer of the 90s and the battles in her personal life that threatened everything she worked to build. Anchored by Sweeney’s transformative portrayal and the powerful depiction of a young woman on the ropes finding her voice, CHRISTY hits with the force of a total knockout.
