Simple idea executed to perfection

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2020)

While the idea of southpaw is nothing new, the side stories happening outside the ring is very refreshing. Jake Gyllenhaal is absolutely phenomenal. His character, Billy Hope, has so much character development despite its short runtime of just under two hours. This ripped emotions out of me, this being one of only two movies to have ever made me cry. On top of all of that the soundtrack is great with multiple songs by Eminem.
