Leave your thoughts about Fake It So Real.
| Time Out ChicagoMatt SingerOutsider artists don't expect to be discovered; they just want to share their passion with the world. Greene's film communicates their devotion -- and their desire to hit people on the back with steel chairs. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFake It So Real filled me with affection for its down-and-out heroes, a group of semi-pro wrestlers in Lincolnton, N.C. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThough the matches themselves, with their crude narrative frameworks and stereotypes, may be something of an anticlimax, the film unearths the tough and complex life experiences they distill. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRyan LattanzioFake It So Real isn't just for wrestling fans. It will appeal to anyone compelled by the documentary medium's ability to tell stories. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsOne of the more admirable qualities of Robert Greene's Fake It So Real, is how it creates such a rich sense of place with such a mundane setting. |
| Movies.comJohn GholsonYou certainly don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy its charms; the appeal comes from exploring what's essentially a very strange, very dangerous hobby. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerThe title is an apt one, suggesting that for all its staging and overt theatrics, independent (read: non-WWF) pro wrestling makes huge demands on the body and spirit. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe taunts in the ring may be make-believe, but the slams against the mat are agonizingly genuine in Robert Greene's vivid documentary Fake It So Real. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenFake It So Real has been made with considerable more polish than other do-it-yourself documentaries such as "Total Badass," but the sensibility is similar. |
| User ReviewDavid SA couple of nerdy amateur wrestlers documenting one of their local shows. |
