The Wrestler (post by Rob)


Mickey Rourke deserves the oscar. Albeit quite a tragic and disconsolate story, The Wrestler is an original and refreshing "true to life" tale. One of the best films I've seen this year. Great performances. Worth seeing. I'd write more but I think you should just see it (and maybe bring a hankerchief).


On a side note - I found the cinematography brilliantly inquisitive and stylistic without being too overt. Really propells the emotion and storyline in my opinion.
