Not enough people outside of her boxing world know Claressa Shields’ story, and my hope is that this film — this intimate, stirring, gorgeous drama — allows more people to know her greatness, but that it also acts as a vehicle for its cast who also deserve more.
An athlete has one job: win. The early mornings in the gym, the grind, the hustle, the sweat, the tears, it all leads to victory. Well, that’s the goal. And after they finish the job, then comes the glory: a coveted Wheaties box cover, the endorsements, the acclaim, the fans, the money. That’s the formula. But for, winning wasn’t enough.
As Claressa, she balances being stubborn, guarded, and ambitious, with a short fuse and a fragile teen ego, while also being maternal, generous, and fiercely protective of her family. Claressa’s mom Jackie isn’t reliable; more preoccupied with personal pursuits than caring for her kids, so Claressa has to step up to parent her younger siblings and cousins while she’s still a kid.
