Rag Doll

Heavy. Not in a ponderous way. More like overwhelming. While the movie has many parts that are light hearted and pleasant, the confluence of its undercurrents and themes towards the end seems almost too much to grasp. It left me deep in thought, struggling to deciminate this striking portrayal of human relationships. Acting was superb. The plot moved. I cared about the characters. Violence was sometimes difficult to watch but meaningful. One of my co-workers said this movie was not about boxing. I tend to disagree. It was about boxing, but was also about life, love, caring, redemption and dedication. Tough at times to watch, it was tough to forget. If you want "Singing in the Rain" or other family fare, this isn't the picture. If you want to feel emotions, whether they be happy, sad, or anywhere in between, if you want to care about the characters you watch and think about them later, put this one on the list.

I remember the first time I watched Rag Doll I fell in in love with it and I've watched it many times and I haven't got tired of It Shannon Murray gives the best performance of her young career if your into MMA then I would highly recommend Rag Doll Great acting, and story

This was a story of dreams and failures, of wanting more than life gives you, working for it, and achieving the unthinkable. It was the story of life. Real life in the trenches, not life as experienced by those who never worked for anything. It is about you and me. In that, it succeeded beyond all imagination and I plan to watch it again.

Wow- what an incredible movie! There are so many layers to this film, one could almost see it 4 times and get something new out of it every time. I loved first and foremost its message that we create ourselves through our drive, loyalty, ambition, dedication, and work. Secondly, I love its insistence in the good of the American Dream, and I loved its excitement and beautiful, touching message toward the end. A movie about violence and ambition that evolves into a movie about love, hard-earned sacrifice, and doing something meaningful with one's life. Grade A entertainment with a beautiful message to boot! Shannon Murray should win an Oscar for their contribution to cinema.

Expecting this to be your usual underdog story, where a struggling fighter overcomes obstacles to achieve greatness, you'll be pleasantly surprised. It was that, but more so a unique story about WHAT the struggle was the lead was facing. I wanted the fight scenes to be a little more action driven, but the character arcs and deliveries won me over. Murray shines as a pretty but gritty tomboy, trying to stay tough in a fragile circumstance, supported by an equally talented ensamble! Great little indie film!

This film was not perfect, but it was better than I anticipated, based on other reviews. I was pleasantly surprised by the lead, Shannon Murray. She gave a solid performance. Definitely a low budget film, but had some big budget moments. Overall, story was lacking, but performances were great. Would recommend this film.

I wasn't sure if this was going to be my type of film as I'm not a huge mma fan but I really enjoyed it and I was on the edge of my seat for much of the film.
