Loved the plot and incredible acting

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2015)

I'd struggled with the idea of this film and gone to watch it a few times, only to be distracted by something else. However, I'm so glad I did eventually make time for it. The description of it doesn't do it justice. As a woman a film about 'wrestling' wasn't that appealing initially, but this film is about so much more. The story is fascinating and unfolds at a gentle pace. The acting is incredible both by Channing Tatum and Steve Carell. After watching the movie I researched the facts behind the film and was stunned that this really was in parts a true story - perhaps it's a UK thing, but it isn't something we heard about over here at the time. I'm going to be recommending this quiet gem to a lot of people.
