The high-flying documentary Lucha Mexico is a journey into the vibrant world of Lucha Libre, where masked warriors fight mythological battles in the squared circle. With access to all the major Lucha promotions, directors Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz take you deep inside the Mexican wrestling culture, documenting its rich traditions and passionate style. At the heart of the film is second-generation luchador Shocker, the self-proclaimed "1000% Guapo" superstar who suffers a serious injury and faces the reality of life without wrestling. Featuring a cast of fan favorites such as legendary Blue Demon, Jr. the tragic Hijo Del Perro Aguayo and lovable mascot Kemonito, Lucha Mexico is a hard-hitting spectacle of high spots and low blows, and goes behind the mask into the heart of Mexico.
Leave your thoughts about Lucha Mexico.
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakA loving, honest, and downright fascinating look at a passion-filled tradition that's mostly foreign to a lot of the non-Hispanic American audience. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippAn insightful and wildly entertaining look at the wrestlers who ply their trade south of the border. |
| Film InternationalElias SavadaLucha Mexico competently captures the nostalgic spectacle of this Mexican sport with vibrant glee. It may be a rambling journey, but it offers up an infectious energy and a behind-the-ropes look at its legendary heroes. |
| Butaca AnchaMariana FernándezAffable, traditionalist, folkloric and entertaining... [Full review in Spanish] |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichThere’s just enough history about lucha libre to make you curious to learn more. |
| Movie NationRoger Mooreif nothing else, Lucha Mexico can be appreciated for its honest depiction of a cultural outlet that gives its public, young and old, a chance to let off steam and yell until they’re hoarse at these uniquely Mexican archetypes. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineThe film's most worthy detour is into the history and personal significance of masks. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderDie-hard wrestling fans might enjoy Lucha Mexico. Everyone else should steer clear. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeSuffice to say, masks are a big deal in the world of Mexican professional wrestling, known colloquially as lucha libre. Why are they such a big deal? Even after watching the movie, it’s hard to explain. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmWhat Hammond and Markiewicz are most gifted at is cinematography. I’d gladly watch this film’s entire B-roll again just to bask in the gorgeous Mexican landscapes and vivid snapshots of the cities, outdoor markets and parking lots where various matches occur. |
