But Saul/Cassandro doesnt cower.
Youre only giving me fuel.
Even though wrestling itself is often highly orchestrated, nothing in this film seems staged.
But hes not here, Saul says as he backs away.
Its one of his best performances in a career filled with strong ones.

But thats not what this movie is about.
But its one steeped in the grittiness of reality that avoids leaning too hard into easy sentimentality.
Cassandro may muscle and wink his way into the spotlight, but nothing about the effort is easy.
This film is as interested in the struggle as it is in the moments of triumph.
