The Bends Unclassified 15+
A mixed martial arts fighter discovers she’s pregnant in the lead-up to the most important fight of her career.
A docu-drama hybrid propelled by a reticent yet affecting performance from pro-amateur MMA fighter Annie Thatcher, The Bends is an elevated, empathetic portrait of a person accustomed to pushing their body to its limit, but who now must choose between conquering it or keeping it safe for another.
