On The Ropes

About This Movie

On The Ropes is this gritty, earnest drama that dives into the world of women's boxing through the eyes of two 18-year-olds, Angie and Sandra. It’s raw, you know? The pacing feels like a steady build-up; you get these moments of tension that mirror the fights themselves. The performances are quite engaging – you can tell the actors really committed to their roles. There's this palpable atmosphere of struggle and ambition that makes you root for the girls. It’s not just about boxing; it touches on themes of friendship, identity, and the challenges of breaking into a male-dominated sport. It’s interesting how they approach training, too, with a gritty realism that pulls you right in. Not your typical sports film, for sure.
