Top Cast
The film makes its points — about ableism within the world of sport and broader society — as emphatically as any of Nao’s punches.
"Gensan” lands solid punches for the rights of disabled athletes and excels with its depiction of rigorous training and fierce combat. But we learn very little about the fighter’s life when he’s not wearing gloves.
