Amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2015)

An aging professional wrestler, Randy "The Ram" Robinson (played by Mickey Rourke) is well past his prime as a wrestler but clings to memories of his heyday. He also still believes he has what to takes to continue wrestling. Meanwhile his relationship with his daughter is very cold. Then he has a health scare...
Amazing. One of the most moving movies I have ever seen. Right up there with movies like Million Dollar Baby and Lost In Translation in terms of emotional content and character exploration.
Mickey Rourke deserves all the accolades for his acting performance - he is superb - but Marisa Tomei is excellent too, as is Evan Rachel Wood.
Darren Aronofsky's direction is spot-on and the story is incredible.
