	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An involving look at the intersection of high-school sports and poverty (...) It is smartly focused, offering nothing to distract from the stories it is able to fit within its running time."
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"This isn’t the kind of movie that feels obligated to deliver a feel-good, inspirational wrap-up (...) The filmmakers’ assembly is professional without being over-polished"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A superb sports documentary (...) [It] expertly balances those two points of view, the athletic and the cultural"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"'Wrestle' isn’t slick or impartial, and doesn’t claim to be, yet the movie has a raw honesty that disdains forced uplift."
		Gary Garrison The Playlist	"The kids themselves are what propels 'Wrestle' (...) A moving and haunting portrait of four young men fighting to win a golden ticket."
