What the critics say

Critics consistently praise the natural young performances and sharp boxing-match camerawork, but many call it merely a decent or average sports drama that doesn't fully land emotionally or reach greater heights.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 8 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
