This really very good movie is released in Irish cinemas today
Stephen Merchant is not the first person who comes to mind when you think about someone who both writes and directs a biopic of a WWE star, yet here we are, because one of the creative geniuses behind The Office and Extras is the person responsible forFlorence Pugh is Saraya Knight, daughter to a wrestler father and wrestler mother , as well as sister to a wrestler brother Zak .
One day, the WWE calls them both up, but after a quick try-out, the federation's coach picks Saraya, and tells Zak that he hasn't made it. Knowing how this all ends - Saraya becomes Paige, who becomes one of the biggest names in WWE history - doesn't take away from the tension that the story successfully builds over its merciful less-than-two-hours running time, as Merchant doesn't shy away from some of the darker aspects of the story of Saraya and her family.
Merchant is ably supported by his cast - Headey is clearly having a blast playing something other than a villain, while Frost and Vaughn are both incredibly solid.
