Erick Estrada Cinegarage Shows humility and executes its reaches. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience Like similar docs that focus on the role women play in otherwise violently masculine societies, Luchadoras finds subjects with brute internal strength. It just happens they have the ability to throw you around, too. Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Demetrios Matheou Screen International It's an incredibly strong documentary, whose potent combination of the exotically particular and the grimly universal ought to see it travelling far beyond its borders. Jun 28, 2021 Full Review Marisa Mirabal Slashfilm Luchadoras is a powerful portrayal of female resistance and breaking the status quo. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2021 Full Review Asher Luberto L.A. Weekly A bracing look at what it means to be a woman in Mexico, Luchadoras follows three female athletes as they dodge punches on the mat, and wrestle with a sexist, corrupt, murderously masochistic society outside the ring. Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry Luchadoras is a compelling feminist perspective of a subculture, but what makes this wrestling film stand out is the examination of social issues that envelop the subjects' lives.
