Had Me In Tears

As a Ultimate Fighting Championship fan, the fight scenes and commentary of the fighting is just splendid. You could tell the was research and advisors to ensure the authenticity of the fight scenes.

The was two amazing moment:
  • The panic attack scene. Hollywood keeps trying to make films relatable to us. I've experienced panic attacks and it's only a few weeks ago where I've shared this with someone who surprising had a panic attack just an hour ago because of the pressures of exams. Such scenes in films allow us as a community to have an open discussion about mental health.


  • The kissing scene. Though women kissing in films do not raise hair on backs as much as men kissing. Such scenes allow us to talk about sexuality and homophobia. I'm glad I have not scene articles which speak about the boring discussion of whether straight people should act as members of the LGBTIQA+ community. Great acting is great acting. Good acting does not require a member of the LGBTIQA+ to act the part so it's truly portrayed correctly.


Overall loved the message of the movie and Halle Barry is an beast for acting such a role effortlessly at 55-years-old.
