This film has it all. It's a thrill of a ride, tracing the great Mildred Burke and her incredible journey. So many cool cameos, awesome action, and it's beautifully shot. There are so many captivating scenes, and seeing the ups and downs of these compelling characters, from Mildred (Emily Bett Rickards is phenomenal) to Wolfe (Josh Lucas outstanding) to the badass Mae Young. It's a slice of wrestling history that few likely know, but will know after seeing this that without Mildred, the women's division would never be what it is today. This film illustrates that masterfully.
It is well cast and the performances are fantastic. A must-see for any wrestling fan and fan of great stories.
