Queen of the Ring is an inspiring, glass-shattering, body-slamming biopic that tells the story of trailblazing women’s wrestler Mildred Burke. While the film delivers strong performances and a fascinating look at wrestling’s past, it struggles with tonal inconsistencies and an overstuffed narrative. Anchored by a powerhouse performance from Anna Bett Rickards, the film captures both the resilience of its protagonist and the gritty realities of the wrestling world. However, its uneven balance between historical empowerment and melodrama, along with an out-of-place soundtrack, keeps it from reaching championship status.
