I watched this on the Criterion Channel (subscription). There are two different endings depending on which version you watch. The international version has an additional kaiju at the end!

Currently on MAX.

I think that’s part of it. So often the abusive parents are often just accepted as the way it is. Or behavior that is abusive is not seen that way.

Been waiting for this to finish, but was concerned with some of the posts I've seen. Thanks for your review. Getting really tired of awful parents.

If you speak Spanish it is on https://archive.org/details/thecalamariwrestler2004dvdripvose. I happened to find a cheap used copy on Amazon.

It was a little rough around the edges like a lot of 80’s films but had a good heart. Tyvm 🦋💕🌸

I really enjoyed his carefree performance. Brace yourself for 1980’s NYC and styles 😄

When I’m not writing reviews I don’t always check out the director so I had some surprises going back through the movies I’d watched. There are a few women directors who have numerous credits but when doing my research many only have one or two. And many of the ones I looked up I couldn’t find their work available anywhere. 😔

My mom always called me the Princess and the Pea because of my sensitive skin. But she said the story didn’t work when I used to clear the scorers’ table off going for a loose basketball during games. 😄

Thank you! 🦋💕

Thank you. I had other thoughts planned out as I was watching but when I started typing something different entirely came out. 😂

I don’t understand dramas that have filler but don’t provide pertinent details about characters.

It’s a co-production and since currently Bhutan is not one of the countries MDL carries and Taiwan was one of the countries of origin it was listed.

It was my first wuxia and got me hooked. Also made me a lifelong fan of Michelle Yeoh

It’s a mixed bag. I rate everything before 1990 on a generous curve. Oh and in my notes MAC means Martial Arts Challenge. I watch a martial arts movie a day for a month and write a review for it. Have had 3 Marathons so far.
