Alunauwie8/10
This documentary presents a rare and compelling perspective on women's roles in sumo, challenging traditional norms in a male-dominated sport. While the storytelling is systematic, it lacks depth in background and expert insights that could strengthen its gender equality theme. Despite missed opportunities for richer exploration, it remains an engaging and thought-provoking watch.
