Fighting with My Family

March 04, 2019/ Scott Park Phillips

I wish I had time to fully review the new film: “Fighting with My Family.”

It is one of these new genre films. It is a Docu-mocku-mentary. It is a comedy with great writing! It is an extreme tear jerker. And it is a bang up fight movie with a lot of great choreography and training scenes. My pick for the Academy Awards so far.
