As a die-hard fan of Florence Pugh’s electrifying performances, I wholeheartedly recommend diving into her captivating journey through the world of wrestling in “Fighting With My Family“. This underrated gem, now available on Netflix, is a must-watch for any sports enthusiast or Pugh admirer.
Before Florence Pugh steals hearts in the upcoming A24 drama “We Live in Time” (alongside Andrew Garfield), catch her delivering powerful performances in the underestimated wrestling drama, “Fighting With My Family”. Directed by Stephen Merchant and produced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, this film offers a dramatized account of WWE superstar Paige’s rise to fame. In the movie, Pugh portrays a young Paige, then known as Saraya, who seizes an opportunity to audition for WWE while dealing with her pushy family and competitive brother.
Fighting With My Family is poised to soar high on Netflix’s streaming platform. Despite receiving rave reviews, including a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Fighting With My Family performed poorly at the box office. Featuring stars like Pugh, Nick Frost, Lena Headey, Vince Vaughn, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Lowden, and a host of professional wrestlers, the film managed to earn only $41.5 million during its initial release. However, since then, it has found a dedicated fan base and is now regarded as a cult-classic within the sports genre.
The movie titled Fighting With My Family seems to have been significantly influenced by the 2012 documentary, The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family. Upon watching the doc, Dwayne Johnson felt compelled to turn it into a full-length comedy/drama. It’s important to note that, while the film incorporates some Hollywood dramatizations, it bears a striking resemblance to the early life and career of Paige. As depicted in the movie, her parents indeed run their own wrestling promotion, the World Association of Wrestling. Furthermore, the documentary accurately portrays Paige’s father’s criminal past and his unwavering commitment to his children’s wrestling careers.

Over the course of two decades, the characters experience the harsh realities of love, parenthood, and an unexpected cancer diagnosis. The official summary goes as follows:
A rising star in the culinary world and a woman fresh from a divorce experience life-altering events after an unexpected meeting leads them to form a deep, heartfelt romance that unfolds over several decades.

Intriguingly, “Thunderbolts” is set to introduce Sentry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. Lewis Pullman has been cast as this character who, although possessing powers akin to Superman, is often unpredictable due to his lifelong struggle with schizophrenia and anxiety disorder.
