About

You may like Raging Bull if you want a hard-hitting character study with strong performances and a raw, uneasy mood; Not for you if you want an uplifting sports story or a lighter, more straightforward drama like Taxi Driver.

Pros: powerful lead performance; intense fight scenes; raw emotional story | Cons: repetitive moments; bleak tone; hard to connect with
