This is a drama about an aging professional wrestler, decades past his prime, who now barely gets by working small wrestling shows in VFW halls and as a part-time grocery store employee. As he faces health problems that may end his wrestling career for good he attempts to come to terms with his life outside the ring: by working full time at the grocery store, trying to reconcile with the daughter he abandoned in childhood and forming a closer bond with a stripper he has romantic feelings for. He struggles with his new life and an offer of a high-profile rematch with his 1980s arch-nemesis, The Ayatollah, which may be his ticket back to stardom.
Leave your thoughts about The Wrestler.
| VarietyTodd McCarthyRourke creates a galvanizing, humorous, deeply moving portrait that instantly takes its place among the great, iconic screen performances. An elemental story simply and brilliantly told, Darren Aronofsky's fourth feature is a winner from every possible angle. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiI don't know if I've ever seen an actor more honest and vulnerable on screen. |
| Stop SmilingMark AschA quarter-century (and, one senses, a lot longer in Rourke Years) since he pulled the popcorn-bag trick on Carol Heathrow and then talked his way back into her good graces, we'll still forgive Mickey Rourke anything. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe Wrestler offers Mickey Rourke a chance at redemption with the role of a lifetime. It's safe to say that he body slams it. |
| TheShiznit.co.ukAli GrayEmotional and engaging, The Wrestler is a masterful piece of work that deserves every award the Academy can throw at it. |
| The Film YapNick RogersThere was no character to root for more strongly in spite of himself in 2008 than Randy the Ram, and "The Wrestler" spat and bled his physical poetry - an elegy of emasculation and exhaustion building, in its final shot, to all the exhilaration he needed. |
| thelondonpaperStuart McGurkIt's Rourke's display - crushed, hopeful, almost unbearably poignant - that'll stay with you after the ring lights fade. His light hasn't died just yet. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsWelcome back, Mickey. It's been too long. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe Wrestler is strong, confident filmmaking. It shows you everything you need to know, and never whispers in your ear what you're supposed to feel about it. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Colin FraserRourke's mesmerising performance is the heart and soul of an existential exploration of self-definition locked on a sports flick. |
