Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: The taunts in the ring may be make-believe, but the slams against the mat are agonizingly genuine in Robert Greene's vivid documentary "Fake It So Real"... – Andy Webster, New York Times, Jan 12, 2012

Fresh: An affectionate portrait of an all-American subculture. – Robert Koehler, Variety, Jan 11, 2012

Fresh: Though the matches themselves, with their crude narrative frameworks and stereotypes, may be something of an anticlimax, the film unearths the tough and complex life experiences they distill. – Richard Brody, New Yorker, Jan 9, 2012

Fresh: An engrossing documentary that lends humanity to independent pro wrestling's savage theater of machismo. – Ryan Lattanzio, San Francisco Chronicle, Mar 15, 2012
