Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Mar 17, 2019
3/5
It was brave and smart of Hynes to leave her comfort zone. Her desperately angry characters linger on, just as they should. Go to Full Review
Ed Potton The Times (UK) Mar 15, 2019
3/5
Hynes, as ever, oozes resilience and honesty. As well as showing off a mean right hook, she has crafted a moving tribute to shattered middle age. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian Mar 14, 2019
3/5
It feels like a very personal film, well acted by the A-list cast that Hynes has assembled: a cathartic meditation on the need to heal, the need to confront those who do wrong and to confront yourself when you've done wrong. Go to Full Review
Bianca Garner Filmotomy Oct 11, 2024
The Fight is not formulated well enough to be a great film, but it is still a great example of what vast potential Jessica Hynes holds as a filmmaker. Go to Full Review

4/5
Along the way her family experience small victories which adds to the feeling that no one is alone, they are a family, they don't give up on each other. Go to Full Review

7/10
The Fight is a worthy directorial debut that, much like the seaside town it represents, shows artistic promise. Go to Full Review

Leia P Mar 21, 2019 Jessica Hynes proves that she should not make anything that is not comedy. The plot is laborious and revolves around the most hateable character possible. The film is advertised as a woman facing her past. I can happily point out this does not happen once. The main character is beyond egocentric and wallows in her pain to the point of boredom. The whole film has a feeling of pointlessness. This would have been alright if not for the terrible acting, poor editing and weak dialogue. Children do not speak like that. Also, marketing the film as starring russel brandÂ? is a blatant commercial fraud. See more
