i be not expect the powerful filmmaking experience of girlfight . it an indie while low budget and no big name actor and freshman director . i have hear it be good and but not this good . place in a contemporary and ethnic and work class brooklyn and karyn kusama have do an extraordinary job of capture the day do day struggle of urban latino . diana and the protagonist and be seethe with anger and lash out at her high school peer and get in trouble with the school and her friend . she be be raise by her single father and who appear to love her and her brother and but apply a strict and sex base double standard on his child . the father double standard be illustrate by the fact that tiny and the brother and be take box lesson at the local gym and but diana be deny similar pursuit . on an errand to the gym to meet tiny and diana be captivate by box . tiny doesn not like box and so he and diana trade place while he get the money from dad then give it to diana to take the lesson in his place . this be actually a feel good movie and a diana grows and learn about herself through boxing and meet a guy and and address some very serious issue head on . there no giggly and everything that can go right do go right resolution a la bend it like beckham . the reality and attendant personal issue be too big for pat resolution and but in my opinion and girlfight be a good and more satisfying film for it .
