B S @RT56513811 21h Andre Holland delivers a phenomenal performance as Walter. The supporting cast is just as strong with Samira Wiley, Anthony B. Jenkins, Wendell Pierce, and J. Alphonse Nicholson. Three things I appreciated most: First, the reminder that perseverance matters, especially when it comes to showing up for the people you love. Second, the intentional nurturing of young boys in a way that's both mentally and physically constructive. The film highlights how learning discipline, self-control, and confidence through boxing can become an outlet instead of violence. I also appreciated how it showed that rage and pain don't have to become destruction. They can become discipline. Lastly, the film beautifully reinforces that second and even third chances are always worth extending. The film reminds us that if we permanently reduce people to the worst thing they've ever done, we'll never get to witness who they're capable of becoming. 12/10 HIGHLY RECOMMED and WILL WATCH AGAIN! See more Saira E @RT08664963 3d They Fight is one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll. It tells a powerful coming-of-age story with honesty, heart, and purpose. Every performance feels authentic, reminding us that behind every young person is a battle most people never see. What moved me most is that this isn’t a story about brokenness, it’s a story about hope. Hope that healing is possible. Hope that one mentor, one teacher, one coach, one neighbor can change the trajectory of a life. It reminds us that our past doesn’t have to determine our future. Director Sheldon Candis delivers something truly remarkable. His storytelling is deeply human, intentional, and compassionate. He doesn’t just make a film, he creates an experience that calls us to see, believe in, and invest in our young people. They Fight isn’t just a great film, it’s an important one. It leaves you believing that even in life’s hardest fights, hope can still win. See more L W @LWilson 4d This is such an important story told with heart, realism and quality actors - including the young new stars. An underdog story that’s not over-done making it easy for the audience to connect. Directing and cinematography are stand outs. See more Jim H @JimmyJolt 4d While the plot hits some familiar genre beats, the film handles its themes of healing, community, and second chances with beautiful sincerity. It is a genuinely inspiring, authentic, and triumphant look at what it means to be a champion in life. Highly recommended for families and sports drama fans alike. See more Richard D @Avantguard 5d I've been in that inner city environment, and I find this movie captures its essence with the dialogue and especially the actors. Anthony B. Jenkins and all the other kids were very compelling. The true grit of the place was softened a bit as appropriate since it can be shown to a younger audience. See more Walter S @BigWalt27 6d Wow I loved this movie. Great characters and fight scenes. Plus the main character has a great name! I wish it were longer though. Felt rushed. But, I still recommend people watch it! See more Read all reviews
