Hynes’s debut as writer and director is an engaging story about a woman facing her daughter’s fears – and her own – in the ring

It feels like a very personal film, well acted by the A-list cast that Hynes has assembled: a cathartic meditation on the need to heal, the need to confront those who do wrong and to confront yourself when you’ve done wrong.
