The movie is about the personal growth of Diana Guzman, a troubled hispanic teen living in a Brooklyn housing project. When Diana discovers an outlet for her anger in Boxing, she must try to convince the world that she has a place in the male-dominated sport, while also grappling with her feelings for fellow-boxer Adrian.

Girlfight explores three main themes: relationships between fathers and daughters, competing against someone you love, and overcoming odds. The film captures all of the relationships in a realistic way, especially Diana's first romantic relationship. The photography is well-directed and some of the lighting is very remarkable. All-around a good film.
