Born Kicking

About This Movie

Born Kicking has this raw, gritty feel that really captures the struggles of being a pioneer. Roxy, the lead, is go-getter, but she faces all sorts of hurdles as the only female pro soccer player. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it suits the drama. The atmosphere is a mix of locker room camaraderie and the pressure of expectations, which gives it a nice depth. The performances, especially from Roxy's character, are genuine and heartfelt. It's not flashy; it's more focused on the real-life challenges faced, and that makes it distinctive. There’s something refreshing about seeing sports drama through a female lens, and this film definitely carves out its own space.
