Southpaw - Reviews

...consistently touching and an often exhilarating documentary, with the protagonist coming across as a supremely talented, if naive, individual.

The increasingly remarkable Jake Gyllenhaal transforms himself yet again as Billy Hope, a boxing champion near the end of his career.

...all Southpaw really has going for it is the athletic conviction of its star, putting on the pounds to credibly portray a top-ranked prizefighter.

Gyllenhaal is as intense as you might expect playing champion bruiser Billy Hope...

...mycket skickligt och vackert filmad...

...det er svært ikke at få ondt af Jake Gyllenhaals temperamentsfulde (eks-)verdensmester, der ikke er meget værd uden for ringen.

At følge Billy Hopes transformation fra såret dyr til genrejst menneske er i Gyllenhaals selskab - uanset hvor forudsigeligt det end bliver - et medrivende syn.

I sidste ende tilhører Southpaw (...) Jake Gyllenhaal, som igen demonstrerer, at han er en af tidens dygtigste og mest dedikerede skuespillere.

Detta boxningsdrama har sina starka stunder…
