The Wrestler (2008)

An extremely poignant look at the life of a professional wrestler as is forced to retire from wrestling. Mickey Rourke is brilliant, Darren Aronofsky's directing is stunning, Marisa Tomei is charming, and even the bland Evan Rachel Wood strikes the right chord as Rourke's bitter daughter. It's one of those movies that make you feel like you just watched a reality show (that was actual reality). Excellent. The final minute of the film is simply brilliant. 4 stars.
