And although the film’s lovers are star-crossed, they are not blind; they’re too old and scarred to throw all caution to the wind.

   The Boxer is an excellent film in almost all its aspects. The acting is quite good across the board, especially Emily Watson and Brian Cox. The cinematography is often stunning, especially in the way it uses the cold and minimalist color palette.
