Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Gene SiskelOnce it gets beyond a hard-to-swallow setup and into the meat of its story, Boxing Helena is surprisingly involving...The movie discloses its terms early, and expects the audience to buy into them, making no apologies for what it is or intends to be.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 6/10 by Chris HicksThe film is superficial and silly, unsuccessful in all of the various tones she attempts.
New York Times - 5/10 by Janet Maslins. Lynch has both talent and a point. Her film is by no means the gory, exploitative quasi-pornography that it sounds like from afar.
The Spectator - 4/10 by Vanessa LettsInstead of the grotesque sexual humiliation of Kim Basinger we were all hoping for, we get schoolgirl surrealism.
Associated Press - 4/10 by Dolores Barclay'Boxing Helena'' is a bad film - with terrible acting, cliched dialogue, a silly script, pedestrian camera work and inferior direction.
Film.com - 3/10 by John HartlFenn's slow-motion fountain-bathing scene looks like an over-the-top TV commercial, the cop-out finale is a film-school cliche, and the male characters are so one-dimensional and pathetic that the movie could inspire a Men's Action Coalition.
San Francisco Chronicle - 3/10 by Mick LaSalleWhat Lynch, who wrote the script at 19, sees as high drama is really high camp. And Fenn seems clueless on how to play her limbless character.
TV Guide Magazine - 3/10 by Michael GingoldLynch's fatal flaw is in her handling of the leads. Sands is made to play his single-minded romantic as a spineless, groveling wimp, while Helena is a one-note ice queen for more than half the movie, never reacting realistically to her predicament. The characters are so lacking in dimension and unsympathetic that it's hard to care about them or their story.
Austin Chronicle - 3/10 by Robert FairesThis film has all the pyschological depth of a wading pool. Anything you've imagined without seeing the movie is likely more interesting than what's here.
Variety - 2/10 by Variety StaffIt's probably just as well that last-minute dropouts Kim Basinger or Madonna didn't take the title role, as the presence of a star lurking powerlessly on the little platform no doubt would have been distracting and more laughable than it [is] now.
