Shot in an almost documentary style of cinematography, "The Wrestler" is one of the most human films I've seen in awhile. I would have to agree with most critics who are claiming that Mickey Rourke has turned in the best performance of his life. The parallels between Rourke's character and Tomei's was fascinating and exceptionally thought provoking. I found myself thinking about these characters two days after viewing the film, and how so many real life people were in a way portrayed in this story. If you're in the mood for introspection, this is a fantastic choice of cinema.
