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 Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Yes, you’ve seen it all before, but it’s never been quite as beautiful as this. Rated: 4/5 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw 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 Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Freda Cooper 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 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM Day Of The Fight is an unpolished indie gem that, to use one last boxing cliché, punches well above its weight. Rated: 4/5 Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Hilary A White 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. Rated: 4/5 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Beautifully written and directed, highly recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Barry 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Justin Williams 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.

Bravo ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Jyoti H 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.
