MOVIE REVIEW | 'BOXING GYM'
Sweat, Blood and Philosophy to the Rhythms of the Sweet Science
By MANOHLA DARGIS
Pugilists and philosophers of all kinds converge in Frederick Wiseman’s mesmerizing documentary “Boxing Gym.” Owned by a tight knot of muscles named Richard Lord, a trainer with a rasp in his voice and a rattail hanging down his neck, the gym is in a former warehouse with no heat and no air-conditioning. There are no frills here, just men, women and children of assorted colors, means, grace, beauty and abilities meeting among the heavy bags and peeling posters, their fists and feet drumming different time signatures.
