Mark Wahlberg stars in this

remarkable, Oscar-winning true story as ‘Irish’ Micky Ward, a journeyman boxer in early-1990s Massachusetts whose career is on the ropes because of his spectacularly dysfunctional family. But then he hooks up with feisty local barmaid Charlene (Amy Adams), and she persuades him that he has to cut loose from his family to get a shot at success. Dir: David O Russell 2010, 15, 115min
