The new movie is “about Christy as a young gay woman in small town Virginia in the 1990s,” according to director David Michôd. “She came from a relatively conservative family and wasn’t allowed to be who she was so she used boxing as a vehicle to express herself and her rage. She had to make some dangerous and fundamental compromises in her life, the most important of which was marrying an incredibly dangerous man.”
