Critics Consensus

An old-fashioned slugger story that leans heavily on its arresting visual style, Day of the Fight marks a bruising and vivid directorial debut for Jack Huston.

It leans too heavily into ham-fisted cliché but Jack Huston’s debut gets by on a striking look and a clutch of strong performances led by an excellent Michael C. Pitt. Go to Full Review

Yes, you’ve seen it all before, but it’s never been quite as beautiful as this. Go to Full Review

3/5
It feels like a student film in many ways though Huston is a diligent and respectful student and there’s nothing wrong with his work with the actors... Not a knockout, by any means, but a win on points. Go to Full Review
Freda Cooper The People's Movies Mar 28, 2025
3.5/5
Make no mistake - this is not just another boxing movie. And, while it may not be a knock-out, its heart and sincerity make sure it punches well above its weight. Go to Full Review
Victoria Luxford City AM Mar 7, 2025
4/5
Day Of The Fight is an unpolished indie gem that, to use one last boxing cliché, punches well above its weight. Go to Full Review
Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Mar 6, 2025
4/5
Day of the Fight is thus a competent, compelling and tidy addition to the canon, even if it mightn’t have the outright pizazz to stand out. Go to Full Review
