Movie description
In GIRLFIGHT, Diana Guzman (Michelle Rodriguez) is a tough high school girl with a violent streak. Between problems at school, a father who belittles her, and a lonely social life, she searches for some way to find respect, love, and challenge. Diana finds all those things in the boxing ring at a gritty Brooklyn gym, where she begins training against her father's will and eventually earns the gym's championship for female boxers. Rodriguez's performance is what carries the film, as she makes the character of Diana Guzman real in every sense. Guzman is an awkward teenage girl whose only advantage is that she's angry. As she channels this anger into determination, she doesn't become a flawless heroine--when she gets punched in the face, it hurts--but the way she grows internally is visible, and that is the truly beautiful thing about this film. Director Karyn Kusama should also be commended for the film's subtle communication of difficult family issues and its objectivity in telling this slightly feminist tale. The inspiring soundtrack features a terrific title song by Theodore Shapiro as well as hits by artists such as Queen Latifah. A story of willpower, strength, and endurance, GIRLFIGHT wins on all fronts.

GIRLFIGHT won the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Director awards at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival.

Karyn Kusama found Michelle Rodriguez through an open casting call in which she auditioned 350 girls. Rodriguez had never acted before and showed up at the audition because she thought, why not?

Rodriguez trained for four and a half months in order to play the role of Guzman. She hated getting hit in the face by professional boxers.

After shooting the film, Rodriguez was approached about boxing professionally but declined, saying that she wanted to keep her teeth intact.

The Las Vegas Film Critics Society named Karyn Kusama and Michelle Rodriguez Best Female Newcomers of 2000.

The National Board of Review named Michelle Rodriguez Outstanding Breakthrough Performance of 2000.
