the wrestler

mesmerising in its brutality, pain and regret, 'the wrestler' is a gritty yet intimate portrayal of a broken man filling the spaces with memories of a once-glorious past and struggling with the irrevocable consequences of choices made during the folly of youth. every gash, cut and broken bone on his battered body has an emotional counterpart. brace yourself also for the devastating closing song by bruce springsteen.

those who enjoy feel-good movies are strongly advised to stay far, far away.
