Review of The Wrestler (1971) by Dennis L — 17 Apr 2012
Mickey Rourke is back on the map - his plastic surgery botched face TOTALLY worked for this role. I liked Marisa Tomei also although her direction was a bit off. Evan Rachel Wood had too much of a one note performance but again I blame the director for that as well.
My friend hated the ending but I liked it because it was real to me. Another friend thought this was depressing and couldn't watch it. Unfortunately, that's how life is - not wrapped up in pretty bows and tidy packages.
