Hot off its premiere at tiff50, we get a new look at Sydney Sweeney in CHRISTY! In theatres November 7, 2025.

Directed by: David Michôd
Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O’Brian

Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia—until she discovered a knack for punching people. Fueled by grit, raw determination, and an unshakable desire to win, she charges into the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and manager-turned-husband, Jim (Ben Foster).

But while Christy flaunts a fiery persona in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it—confronting family, identity, and a relationship that just might become life-or-death. Based on remarkable true events, Christy Martin’s story is one of resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim one’s life.

Christy Salters (Sydney Sweeney) went from being a college basketball player in the late 1980s to being one of the pioneers of women’s boxing, going by the nickname “The Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Behind closed doors however, Christy was enduring abuse and degradation at the hands of her 25-years-older husband and boxing coach Jim Martin (Ben Foster).

For much of its running time, CHRISTY is your standard sports Biopic. It is based on a true story, and it hits all of the triumphant, disappointing and inspiring beats you expect. Co-Writer/Director David Michôd does not stray too far from the formula and does a more than admirable job telling Christy’s story. When the film is not focusing on boxing, it pivots into being the story of a woman who does not fit in and is made to suffer for it. While I wish Michôd and his Co-Writer Mirrah Foulkes went a little past the surface level with many softened elements, they wisely maintain restraint when it comes to the scenes of abuse (although one scene is just as shockingly brutal as it needs to be).

Though the supporting cast is uniformly solid – with Foster delivering another impeccable performance as a really shitty and deeply disturbed individual, Merritt Wever nailing some truly devastating scenes, Katy O’Brian stealing scenes left and right, and Chad L. Coleman positively slaying as Don King – the film belongs to Sweeney. She gives an absolute knockout performance as Christy, landing each right hook harder than the last both figuratively and literally. Her alternatively physical and vulnerable work here is some of the strongest of her career and should easily silence all of her haters.

CHRISTY screens at TIFF ‘25:

Fri. Sept 5 at 2:00 PM at VISA Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre

Sat. Sept 6 at 11:00 AM at VISA Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre

Produced by: Alex Saks
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, Simon Rex, with Eric Dane, and Zahn McClarnon
Synopsis: A gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact in this wildly entertaining modern-day western.

Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).

By David Baldwin

It is 1929 and Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and his partner Dora Strauch (Vanessa Kirby) have decided to renounce many of their worldly possessions to start fresh on the isle of Floreana. They are pleased with their decision, at least until other people show up on the island with their own agendas. And let’s just say that all of the new neighbours do not exactly get along.

That’s the short and sweet elevator pitch for Oscar-winning Director Ron Howard’s latest film, EDEN. The Film feels like a radical departure for the veteran filmmaker, favouring grit, brutality, violence and high-tension scenarios as opposed to his normal, safe style. This change of pace does not always work out for Howard (specifically, when it comes to some of the camera work), but I admire his trying to make a picture that is completely out of his wheelhouse. Had the film been tightened up from its current 129-minute running time, removed one or two montages and had a better sense of tone, I am certain it would be a whole hell of a lot stronger.

That said, a Second Act birthing scene is a terrifyingly intense thing of beauty.

Acting wise, the ensemble – perhaps the single hottest Cast assembled as of late – do what they can to breathe life into this chaotic tale with varying results. Law is positively outrageous here, fearlessly reveling in the inherent hedonism of this potentially true story. Kirby goes completely underused and Daniel Brühl never gets the standout moment he needs to sell the character properly. The same cannot be said for Hollywood “It Girl”, the lava hot Sydney Sweeney, who does an excellent job as the naïve wife of Brühl’s character. Her accent is a little dodgy in some instances but her commitment to the role is stellar to watch. De Armas fairs even better, delivering a deliciously unhinged performance that allows her to steal the show out from everyone. Her accent work is impeccable (especially in comparison to something like Andrew Dominik’s Blonde) and her devious manipulation tactics add together to make her into a villain you will not soon forget.
