Overview
- The biopic from director David Michôd, co-written with Mirrah Foulkes, casts Sydney Sweeney as trailblazing boxer Christy Martin.
- Sweeney says months of preparation and real-contact ring work left her "so beyond sore" yet "like a real fighter."
- Christy Martin served as an on-set consultant to shape an accurate, survivor-centered portrayal.
- Ben Foster, who plays Jim Martin, says researching coercive control revealed patterns he found "frighteningly common."
- The film opened in the U.S. to about $1.3 million, with a UK and Ireland theatrical release set for 28 November, as Sweeney publicly reflects on the pressure women feel to ask for help.
