What a disappointing film
Actors? Amazing... everyone in this film gave 1000%. Production? Fantastic. Cinematography? Couldn't ask for better. Hair and makeup? Nailed it. Costumes. Yes please. Direction and writing? Totally missed the boat. There were so many narrative misses in this film... so many emotionally wasted moments... lazy story telling that was unworthy of the overall narrative. This ended up feeling like poverty/tragedy porn for rich A24 audiences masquerading as a 'great film'. And no where in the film were the wrestling fans or the wrestling entertainment industry given any gravity. Which unfortunately made the whole family narrative land as pointless and cynical. Art house failure.
