Big John

About This Movie

So, 'Big John' dives into the lives of John and Ole Klemetsen, a father-son duo from Norway. It's not just about boxing; it’s about their bond, the struggles, the grit. The pacing is contemplative, giving you room to soak in their journeys. Håvard Bustnes captures the raw emotions, the sweat, and the triumphs that come with the sport. The atmosphere feels intimate, almost like you’re sitting ringside, but also peering into their personal lives. What stands out is how it tackles themes of legacy and ambition, all while showing the practical realities of training and competition. Solid performances, especially from John, who carries a weight of experience and vulnerability. Definitely an interesting piece for doc lovers.
