Based in the story of Tobias Mupfuti, a boxing coach, this is the story of a small boy named Rise who hounds a boxing coach to take him on. The kid does and the coach and the kid form a bond.
One of the great films of the year, this film will make your heart soar. The central relationship is as perfect as anything you will see all year. Yea Rise can be a handful, but he is a genuine handful, by which I mean he’s a real kid and not a cinematic construct.
I absolutely loved this film. It moved me. Not just because it’s a lovely story but because it talks of things greater- this is a film about facing fear and doing what you have to.
This is magnificent.
An absolute must see at Tribeca.
