Sydney Sweeney’s new movie, Christy, is about boxer Christy Martin. It will be shown to a small group at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The studio behind the movie Black Bear conducted tests and achieved very good results. This has sparked speculation that Sweeney might receive her first Oscar nomination.
