Fighting with My Family's trump card is an emotional one, and it's well played.

2.5/5

Yet realism, emotional or otherwise, is beside the point: this is a film that prints the legend, perhaps on the assumption that nothing is too cornball for true wrestling fans.

Florence Pugh's knockout performance is the winner in this zesty wrestling drama.

A good wrestling movie but I did not enjoy it for the most part, only the first half hour and the last 15 minutes were entertaining for me, felt a few parts were boring and a few funny scenes including the parents were nice, overall a decent average movie, 6/10

Being a massive fan of Paige, and growing up watching her this movie is a big deal to me. Florence Pugh does a marvelous job in her portrayal of the glampire. Fighting With My Family is a beautifully fun and heartfelt story of family, a fiery passion, and just how far you will go to chase a dream.

"And I'm Vin Diesel, mate" - this quote alone make the movie worth the watch. But the INCREDIBLE performances of Florence Pugh, Jack Lowden, Nick Frost and Lena Headey are what really make this movie great!
