Right off the top, no, you don’t need to know wrestling to love this movie. And yes, you will love this movie. You might even kinda sorta like wrestling after seeing this movie. Which was an accomplishment for me, considering i hated it before and i now respect it. Now on with the actual movie.
The movie is about Paige (Saraya is her real name) who rose to WWE stardom at the age of 18 (and it’s got very little to do with the Rock). She comes from a wrestling family and she gets a shot. This is 100% an underdog story, but its also a story about family, about being yourself (even if you’re a freak) and fighting for your dreams. I was honestly really touched by this film. Florence Pugh pulls off an incredible performance as Paige as well as everyone else in the film.
Overall I’d say I loved this film, and if you don’t, I’ll give you a receipt (you’ll get it once you see it which I assume you’re doing right now).
