| Willamette WeekSaundra SorensonIn the interviews that guide the narrative of Brett Whitcomb's documentary, the memories are fond-and, unexpectedly, free from much sense of exploitation. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldBrad NewsomeFrom the first moments of this 2012 documentary it's clear the women involved still treasure the whole bizarre experience and the sisterhood it forged. |
| User Reviewkelly rI fell in love with the comedy series on Netflix, and a friend suggested this documentary on the original wrestling ladies of GLOW. Had no idea it was based on truth. Fantastic strong colourful women. Sad to see how the cancellation affected the main star, but interesting hearing from their mouths what really went on and just how true the show has remained. |
| User ReviewAndy CIf you're nostalgic for the likes of Godiva, Roxy Astor, Tina Ferrari and Little Egypt you'll enjoy this documentary. The story of what happened to the most famous G.L.O.W. girl Mountain Fiji will tug at the heart strings. |
| User ReviewDarin HWatched this last night. Pretty average documentary but brought back memories of being 10-11yrs old. |
| User ReviewFrank CA really touching story of women coming together and bonding on the stage, albeit with a rather unique and off-colour circumstance. Novel view into Vegas shows, women's movements of the late 80s, and stardom short-lived. |
| User ReviewRonald WI happened to stumble upon this on Netflix and immediately had to watch. This brought back some fond memories of watching this weekly show. I always thought of it as the offspring of WWE mixed with Hee Haw. So much fun to watch, the wrestling usually wasn't that great and the skits were corny as hell but you could not watch without smiling. Even my wife, who had never heard of the show, found herself amused by the documentary. It was interesting to see what the "Ladies" are up to now. If you were a fan then you should take a stroll through your memories and take the time to watch this movie. |
| User ReviewIan RNice look at the cult phenomenon, almost makes you want to go out and track down old tapes. |
| User ReviewAllan CA typical wrestling story. Lots of heart break in that industry coming out of something special. |
| User ReviewSP MAfter enjoying the premiere season of Netflix's Glow, I watched the 2012 documentary on the original all-female wrestling show (also available on Netflix). It was interesting and surprisingly moving. Personal, at times raw, interviews are woven with archived media to create a rich tapestry of storytelling. The documentary is less about the popular wrestling show and more about the women's experiences before, during, and after that seminal and surreal time in their lives. Glow: The Story of The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is a great example of what a documentary is supposed to be like. |
