MOVIE INFO

Wrestling fans sadly don’t have a large canon of great films (“No Holds Barred,” anyone?). But we're in a mini-golden age between "The Iron Claw" and this underdog biopic that passionately puts a headlock on viewers’ hearts and minds. Gael García Bernal's Saúl hangs up his mask – a signature aspect of the Mexican luchador set – and embraces his queer identity inside and outside the ring by being a flamboyant “exótico,” making a character type historically jeered and mocked into a runaway success.
