What it is about
A biography of Thai boxer Nong Toom, who entered the ring wearing make-up and transitioned after her career.
The fighting in it
The bouts were performed by a working Muay Thai fighter and come closer than anything in the genre to a real competitive match — including the clinch and corner work that action films usually skip.
