I have no interest in wrestling at all (in fact my other half spent the first half an hour saying "Is that really a sport? In real life?") so I dunno how it rates as a wrestling film, but I thought it did a good job of being in possibly sentimental territory without being at all sentimental. I think the casting really helped with this. Good simple unshowy acting all round.I really liked the way Giamatti's initial wrongdoing is kinda buried within the film in a similar way to the way he hides it from everyone else (and himself, maybe), so it's a nagging doubt in a "Hang on, but didn't he...?" sort of way. Was kind of stunned when I found out that this (and The Station Agent) was written and directed by the lying journalist from The Wire. Has anyone seen The Visitor? I never wanted to see it cos it looked a bit "world music feelgood", if you know what I mean, but I'm thinking I should reconsider.
