Stanley manages his boxer brother Lion but when a devastating loss in the ring leaves the pair in debt, an opportunity to recoup the cash leads to a series of misadventures that threaten to break the bond between them.
Our read: Jungleland (2020) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured.
