About This Movie

Kiss Me (2012) dives deep into the psyche of Kid Vargas, a boxer who’s hit with the brutal aftermath of an in-ring fatality. The film’s tone is gritty, with an atmosphere that feels heavy, almost claustrophobic at times. You really sense the internal struggle he faces, and the pacing lends itself well to that tension, dragging you through his emotional unraveling. The practical effects during the boxing scenes are raw and visceral, adding to the gritty realism. Performances are strong, capturing the weight of guilt and the harsh realities of life. What stands out is how it doesn’t shy away from the consequences of violence, exploring themes of redemption and the human condition in a way that feels quite personal.
