Well written and you have sympathy with some of the key characters. I love most boxing films and this didn't fail to entertain. Some comedy, drama and emotional scenes all done quite well. It's a little long if I do have one complaint. The start is dragged out and could have been reduced.
The ending was quite fitting and wrapped up the movie quite well. Everyone acted really well. It's the first Polish Film I have seen and it's made me want to venture into the world of Polish cinema is this is anything to go by.
If you have 2.5 hrs to kill, this isn't a bad was to spend it.
It's a great little gem.

Director Mitja Okorn brings us a well-crafted drama that hides a step in Polish history in sport with an emotional story about the dreams, frustrations and ambitions of a lifetime.
With solid performances by its leading couple, Eryk Kulm and Adrianna Chlebicka, who carry on their shoulders the intensity of a drama that gains strength as we learn what lies behind this boxing story. As we get to know the characters, we also see the journey of a series of decisions that give life to this drama and with which its director manages to keep us focused on his entire proposal.
A supporting cast that also allows the leading couple to shine, cleverly managing to convey their raw, honest and sincere essence, and illuminating a dark period that its director knows how to handle with all the necessary touch to have the right amount of drama, intensity and comedy.
In any case, despite the film having a successful script, it is in its length where we feel that the story drags on too long, which at times implies that we have certain moments repeated within everything we are witnessing and makes the path to its correct and pleasant final climax feel a little tiring.
An honest bet by Netflix that is worth giving a chance, it is a very good film that ends up knowing how to use boxing as a life story with which we connect and also reflect on the history that often stains our lives.

As a Turkish person I loved this movie since we have similar cultures and lives when it comes to sport Boxing. In Turkish there is a saying Felek Çember which means someone reaching to victory in his career,coming from a poor and hard difficult life. Since Football is the only professional sport in worldwide Amateur sports needs more effort,good fortune and discipline. Especially if it is a personal sport instead of a team sport it is all about you,the person himself. It is fair to say unless you get a medal in Olympics at sports such Boxing or wrestling it is really hard to make a career. Anyway this movie tells the rise of a poor person from bottom to Top and I can guarantee that You will love the movie.
Boxer tells the story of a young boy with a troubled upbringing, dominated by his abusive father. Despite his difficult childhood, the boy excels in chemistry, a talent that takes a backseat after his father's death when he transitions into the world of boxing. The movie captures his rise to fame, with Eryk Kulm delivering an outstanding performance as the protagonist. His portrayal of a boxer grappling with fame and internal demons is both powerful and nuanced.
The boxing scenes, while good, could have been more polished. Some moments lacked the intensity that makes boxing films truly stand out. Nevertheless, the story holds its own, particularly as it touches on the emotional and cultural realities of Polish sportsmen seeking opportunities abroad. While this is often viewed as a loss for the country, Boxer frames it as a narrative of triumph.
The movie is consistently engaging, though it is occasionally interrupted by a few boring scenes every 15-20 minutes, which slightly disrupt the overall flow. Despite these small hiccups, Boxer is an entertaining film that offers a compelling blend of personal struggle, sports, and Polish cultural commentary.
