Cassandro - Reviews

This hugely entertaining biopic is set in the world of Mexican wrestling where agile grapplers perform astonishingly athletic feats.

Gael García Bernal is fabulous in this wild true story of a beloved luchador.

...a complex, thoughtful and warm homage to Cassandro’s person and shaping of the landscape.

If there was ever a role model for brave but savvy self-acceptance, it’s the still living Saúl Armendáriz.

A sportsman biopic that concentrates more on the man than the sport, this offers food for thought for those who can stand the languorous pace.

... a giddily entertaining and celebratory drama that hints at the emotional bruises under the sparkly lurex leotard and false lashes.

While the biopic is determinedly feel-good, and sometimes a little over the top, Williams holds true to the spirit of someone who - like Gael García Bernal - was a born entertainer.

...Saúl [er] underholdende nok til, at man aldrig keder sig i hans selskab. Det skyldes Gael García Bernal, hvis udtryk og talent udgør et perfekt match af skuespiller og rolle.

Underhållande och hjärtevarmt - ett riktigt glädjepiller!
