    This movie was such a great experience to go through. I went in the theatre thinking that this was going to be a movie about wrestling, and I came out understanding that this film is about strong, confident, and amazing women! I loved it!

    Leitman has drawn out, mostly in the unspoken moments, a wonderful story of contrast: paths chosen and unchosen, modesty and arrogance, school learning and school of hard knocks. In many ways these women inhabit a world of their own but their story says a lot about the world around them. What fun.

    The women, many in their 70s and 80s, are still tough and proud--and nursing grudges that go back decades, something Leitman plays up by crosscutting between rivals' accounts.

    Smart assembly of terrific archive footage is matched by spirited interviews with the tough old broads today.

    Leitman gets some wonderful tall tales from her subjects, who open up like they've been waiting for years for someone to come along and ask, and she complements it with punishing footage of their exploits.
