Episode 31: Fighting with My Family / Happy Death Day 2U / Greta

| Original Score: 76/100 | Sep 14, 2021

Fighting with My Family is a fun and surprising emotional story about a quirky, ambitious clan. Wrestling fans may be most drawn to it, but it still has a lot to offer even if you've never watched a match in your life.

This movie is definitely funny, but it also has an emotional heft I didn't expect.

| Feb 9, 2021

It is a universal story about outcasts who create community through sport and heart combined with the kind of "soap opera in spandex" storytelling that has made wrestling so popular.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2021

It is thanks to Merchant that the film achieves what it sets out to do ... His characters, though based on real people, pop off the screen and take on a life of their own. They may just make a wrestling fan out of you by the end of it.

| Jan 28, 2021

Energetic, rousing, and routinely hilarious - quite the feat for what is, superficially, just a wrestling biopic.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 7, 2020

[It] brought all those exhilarating memories from my younger days back in a vivid rush. I was that little kid again watching mortal beings do impossible things with their body.

Fighting With My Family has classic British humour and a familiar grittiness to it, reminding me why I adore British cinema so much.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 19, 2020

What this real-life rags-to-riches tale lacks in originality (echoing documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family) it more than makes up for with the one-two punch of brilliant performances and spot-on comic timing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

Its pitfalls grow with the plot, overriding its broad strokes at social commentary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2020

Although it offers an interesting commentary on self-acceptance, insecurities and tenacity, in the end the charm disappears to favor a boredom of almost two hours. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 24, 2020

Even if you've never seen wrestling, you will relate with this story about family love, identity, and the chase of seemingly impossible dreams. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 7, 2020

The film brilliantly balances the wrestling components and the family drama - making this a really charming watch for all the family.

It ends up convincing both on a dramatic level, and on a somewhat more visceral level. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 20, 2020

It never quite settles into a real comedic stride, but there are enough touching themes about the impact of thwarted dreams, having conviction in your own sense of self, and sparks of Stephen Merchant's wit to endear the audience to the story.

| Feb 13, 2020

Director and writer Stephen Merchant shoehorns [Florence] Pugh into a typical sports underdog plot... Yet despite the very familiar and familial feel, this one only lags occasionally.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2020
