My Punch-Drunk Boxer (2019)
Rom-Com? Not in My Opinion
28 June 2021 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I've read some bad reviews, but don't let that deter you. Take joy in Uhm Tae-Goo's performance, as well as the rest of the cast. Also beautiful is the drumming and singing...reminiscent of Native American pow-wows (along with some of the humor in the chants).
The PR made this movie seem almost like a typical rom-com, I think it is not. It is poignant and bittersweet. I very much liked it and will probably see it again in the future; but I do realize it is not for everybody.
A brain damaged 29 year old who desperately wants to do what he loves one last time and knowing he is on the fast track to dementia is human emotion on a deeper level. Or, like our main character when he sees the strays, maybe I just empathize too much.
