On the day of his first fight since leaving prison, Mikey, once champion boxer, takes a redemptive journey through his past. As Mikey prepares for the most important fight of his life, he reconnects with the people he was closest to and tries to make things right.

Critics Consensus

An old-fashioned slugger story that leans heavily on its arresting visual style, Day of the Fight marks a bruising and vivid directorial debut for Jack Huston.

Ian Freer

Empire Magazine

It leans too heavily into ham-fisted cliché but Jack Huston’s debut gets by on a striking look and a clutch of strong performances led by an excellent Michael C. Pitt.

Rated: 3/5

Yes, you’ve seen it all before, but it’s never been quite as beautiful as this.

Guardian

It feels like a student film in many ways though Huston is a diligent and respectful student and there’s nothing wrong with his work with the actors... Not a knockout, by any means, but a win on points.

Rated: 3/5

The People's Movies

Make no mistake - this is not just another boxing movie. And, while it may not be a knock-out, its heart and sincerity make sure it punches well above its weight.

Rated: 3.5/5

Day Of The Fight is an unpolished indie gem that, to use one last boxing cliché, punches well above its weight.

Rated: 4/5

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Day of the Fight is thus a competent, compelling and tidy addition to the canon, even if it mightn’t have the outright pizazz to stand out.

Imperfect but beautifully shot. Some very memorable scenes and performances. The boxing scenes left something to be desired but the film stayed with me emotionally.

Wow, just wow from start to finish this film had my attention. A real tear jerker, and I must say Joe Pesci’s scene really moved me. Everyone came to play and they delivered!!

Day of the Fight isnt just a movie—its an experience. It pulls you in, makes you feel, and doesnt let go. Jack Huston has created something truly special here, and I cant wait to see what he does next. If you love films that make you laugh, cry, and hold your breath all at once, this one is a must-watch.
