The Wrestler has gone way above my expectations. It is a complete masterpiece of sports films. Some people have referred it as the new Raging Bull and the sports film of the decade. I would call it both for these various reasons. It is a very emotional story with a rather heartbreaking storyline, it has very realistic effects and it has absolutely beautiful characters to watch. This film is one of... read more

I never thought that I would type these words: I wanted Mickey Rourke to win the Oscar. After years of slumming his quirky and strange talent in B-movies and straight-to-DVD trash, he has returned in a big way.

" Notes: After the already fascinating ‘Requiem for Dream’ and ‘The Fountain’, Darren Aronofsky came up once again with another really strong feature. What was so impressive about this movie was that they managed to tell such an intense and heartbreaking story about such a tedious sport like wrestling. Indeed, I never cared for this ‘sport’ but the story of Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson was just so fascinating to behold nonetheless. It was above all thanks to a really impressive perf"
