one of my favourite films ever, The Wrestler is near perfect. It is the best look at the tragic state of an individual I have seen on screen (followed closely by Aronofsky’s Requiem For A Dream). I re-watched it tonight with my brother and couldn’t help but point out all the things that make the movie so perfect. There are whole scenes that are just immaculate in terms of dialogue, character development et al. I can’t stress enough how magnificent this film is. If you have not seen it, do it now.
