Critics Consensus

Emily Bett Rickards is terrific in this straightforward sports biopic, which puts on a good show even if it only glancingly grapples with the surface of its true story.

San Diego Reader

I took more from Avildsen’s commitment to his subject than I would from watching 10 big-budget celebrity biopics combined.

Rated: 3/5

“Queen of the Ring” is more of a montage of the highlights of Burke’s illustrious life, rather than an entertaining film.

TheWrap

An incredibly direct motion picture, and sometimes the limitations of its budget put a strain on the ambitious multi-decade narrative, but it’s a film — and a cast — that demands thunderous applause anyway.

Burke turns out to be an incredibly fascinating person… who deserves a much better movie made about her.

It’s far from perfect, but it does give off a certain glow.

This biopic of women’s wrestling pioneer Mildred Burke is nobody’s idea of a great movie, but it’s an entertaining cheese-fest with a lot of stagey charm.

Very good movie. Lead performance was excellent. Showed a sport I wasn't familiar with, especially which was not made readily available to women at that time. Good acting from the lead woman wrestler & the other woman wrestlers, some who appeared to be actual wrestlers. I learned a lot about how women were physically able to compete, even if smaller than their Mail counterparts.
