There’s a lot to like, but not much to love. I have never heard of Claressa Shields before, so I knew nothing of the outcome of the story, although I can guess that if they’re making a movie then she had some success.
I now this isn’t a fair comparison, but there was never a Rocky moment in the movie, even though they included a training montage of kids following her as she jogged through the neighborhood. Basically, there’s little to no drama of what’s going to happen in the ring.

The root of her struggle comes after winning a gold meddle and trying to earn a little money in advertising. I guess what’s missing for me is that I can feel her frustration and anger at the situation, but that’s about it. I was hoping for more depth.
I’m really happy to see Brian Tyree Henry in a serious role. I thought he was outstanding.

About The Peetimes: I’m happy with these Peetimes. There’s a lot of drama and action that no one wants to miss.
The first Peetime is pretty good.
I recommend the second Peetime. It’s almost all a training montage.
The third Peetime has a lot of information about advertising for female athletes that you probably don’t want to miss. That’s why it’s an emergency Peetime.

about the RunPee app.
November 17, 2019
One of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I’ve used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I’m not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don’t have to summarize anything when they get back!!
