Review of Boxing Helena (1993) by Michael Gingold for TV Guide Magazine — 26 Nov 2003
Lynch's fatal flaw is in her handling of the leads. Sands is made to play his single-minded romantic as a spineless, groveling wimp, while Helena is a one-note ice queen for more than half the movie, never reacting realistically to her predicament.
The characters are so lacking in dimension and unsympathetic that it's hard to care about them or their story.
