Christy (out Jan 8) is a biopic, directed by Australian David Michôd (Animal Kingdom), about female boxer Christy Salters who rose to fame in the 1990s. It's a positive story about boxing and a negative story about domestic violence but in trying to balance both narratives, it comes across as shallow. Still an interesting true story. Grade: B-.
