THE NEW YORK TIMES CRITIC’S PICK: “Raw and empathetic, Suzannah Herbert and Lauren Belfer’s vérité portrait of four high-school wrestlers

disdains forced uplift.”

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: “Just as sports mirror society, so do the best sports films not only take us inside games and those who play them but also

provide insight into our world and how it works. “Wrestle,” a superb sports documentary, does exactly that"
