Small, Slow But Steady
Director: Sho Miyake
2022 / 99min / DCP
Based on the true story of boxer Ogasawara Keiko, Miyake’s unorthodox-stance sports film stars a superb Kishii Yukino as the deaf-from-birth Keiko, seeing the possibility of her still-young professional career in grave peril, along with the boxing gym that’s her second home, when the pandemic threatens to erode her self-worth and shutter the place that’s done so much to provide her with a sense of resolve. “A highly atypical boxing drama that is less concerned with the glory of the knockout punch, and more with the interior decisions and indecisions that occur long before the punch is thrown, and long after the punch has landed… Tough and tender.” —Sight & Sound
