Looking into it, I discovered that women's boxing rounds are only two minutes long—a full minute shorter than men’s matches. That’s precisely the feeling I had watching Catch the Fair One: something felt incomplete. The conclusion was especially disappointing, not because of what happened, but because it arrived too quickly – like a fight ending prematurely when one boxer is knocked out easily, as Chris Tucker put it in Friday, KTFO; except here, it's the film itself, co-written and directed by Josef Kubota Wladyka, that gets taken out. Without giving away details, there’s nothing wrong with a dramatic conclusion where several characters die; some of the greatest stories—like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet—end with numerous deaths. Even in death, though, those characters seem to accomplish something; for example, Romeo and Juliet help bring the Capulets and Montagues together. In contrast, Catch the Fair One leaves you suspended – wondering if that’s all there is. I'm not suggesting a happy ending would be better, because that might actually make things worse; still, even a happy ending would at least provide closure. To stick with boxing analogies, this felt more like a referee stopping the match than offering any real sense of resolution. It strikes me that Rocky, despite losing to Apollo Creed in the first film, still managed to feel victorious. In that regard, I think Catch the Fair One could have benefited from an ending similar to Promising Young Woman—where the protagonist’s sacrifice actually carried weight. Ultimately, the reason to see Catch the Fair One is Kali Reis's portrayal of Kaylee ‘K.O.’ Uppeshau, a woman so resilient she sleeps with a razorblade in her mouth. Reis, who is herself a boxer and receives a 'story-by' credit on the film, does more to challenge the stereotype of athletes as unintelligent than most sports movies—or even most athletes; I immediately thought of Kyrie Irving, the NBA player who believes the earth is flat, or Aaron Rodgers, the NFL quarterback who opposes vaccines, but there are countless others. And for what it's worth, this is a superior (and considerably shorter) film about a female boxer than Million Dollar Baby—the benefit of an abrupt ending is that the movie doesn’t drag on for more than two and a half hours going nowhere, even if that’s where we end up anyway.
