Marvel is the eccentric and partially sighted mother of heavyweight boxing champion Joe Joyce; the film follows her and her family over several months. As with most other fly-on-the-wall documentaries, our fascination doesn’t really lie in the action or events but stems from that more basic animal instinct – curiosity, the desire to take a look behind somebody else’s closed doors, to see how celebrities and their loved ones live.
Do they eat the same things we do? Do they all argue like we do? And, more specifically in this case, what’s it like living with a disability that doesn’t allow you to see your world-famous son box in the ring?
