Sweeney delivered
They kept it real, no unnecessary bs js a great movie I wanna give it 5 stars because I don’t see how it could be any better but there’s better movies to choose from.
Metacritic
Christy is ultimately a redemptive story, complete with the discovery of an actual loving relationship. But the road to redemption is rough on the character and, at times, the audience. Still, it has a certain NASCAR charm (particularly in the early scenes), and characters who effectively carry it forward.
Something feels a tad icky when you’re exiting the theatre of a dispiriting true story and being told you’re supposed to actually feel good.
It succeeds about half the time, making for a split decision where Sweeney and Christy both emerge as champions while the film itself can’t quite go the distance.
