I wouldn’t call The Wrestler “trashy”... but it isn’t very uplifting... I think it tells a story... a cautionary tale... a tragedy.
Then again... Marisa Tomei gets naked. She had aged well.
I wish Ms. Tomei had been given more roles. Her turn in Cousin Vinny was wonderful. As for,the actor, Mickey Rourke, his life has been a cautionary tale. Why did he destroy his face and acting career through,boxing, was it?
I think I will spare myself this film. Thank-you for the clarification and your perspective.
