Loved this film! The Fire Inside was a very motivating film to watch! It was uplifting, emotional, and rewarding. For those that don’t know the true life story of female professional boxer Clarissa Shields, this movie is about her story. This film shows her early life all the way up until she becomes an Olympic gold medal winner. What makes this movie work so well is it’s realism and avoids cliches that similar films fall into. Ryan Destiny does a wonderful job in the lead role here and really channels Clarissa Shields. Brian Tyree Henry was a real big surprise here. He gives one of the strongest performances of his career here. The Fire Inside will make you cheer, cry, and applaud. The Fire Inside gets a perfect 5 stars out of 5 from me.

I really enjoyed this movie. I'm glad it was a true story about this boxer. We had dreams of a young age to become famous.

This was a banger. Like the sports aspect of it was awesome. The depiction of who Clarissa was, and what she went through, and where she had to get to after was great. Acting was great, and it's just a great movie to root for.

A great story and as always a bonus for trye story... I'm embarrassed I didn't know it... likely overshadowed by the swim guy.

Ryan Destiny and Brian Tyree Henry's screen time together make this bio-pic of American gold-medal winning boxer Claressa "T-Rex" Shields definitely worth watching...

This could have been a "Rocky/Creed for women", and I'm so glad it was not. This is a real life story, and it feels like one on every front. CONTINUE READING ON LETTERBOXD: https://boxd.it/8fctad

I don’t really care for woman’s boxing. But the story and sheer grit of this young women’s life is amazing. She is such a triumphant over her circumstances in her home town of Flint Michigan as well as the politics of the Olympic machine. She rises victorious and is an example to young people looking for a hero today.
