Queen of the Ring is the inspiring story of legendary women's wrestler Mildred Burke who went from waitressing at her mom's diner to go on and become the first ever millionaire women's athlete in history. Queen of the Ring shows Mildred break down barriers for women in wrestling and also shows the story of how wrestling evolved from circus side shows to sell out arenas, and in Mildred's case, who took it one step further to main event said sold out arenas.
This true to life story brings out an eclectic cast of women from Hollywood and the actual pro wrestling world to portray the pioneers of women's wrestling spanning from the late 1930's through the 1950's. Wrestling fans will appreciate not only the wrestlers portrayed in the movie, but many of the actors are from today's insanely popular world. Names such as Toni Storm, Kamille, Naomi, Mickie James and Jim Cornette are featured in this film.
But I cannot fail to mention Emily Bett Rickards whom portrayed the Queen of the Ring herself and was an absolute knock out. Emily transformed her body and trained professional wrestling to absolutely crush this role with precision.
Whether you want a wrestling story or an empowering triumph in women's history, this movie is well worth your time to check out!

I watched Queen of the Ring expecting a wrestling movie similar to The Iron Claw. As a wrestling fan, I was excited to see familiar wrestlers' faces I currently watch, but the movie felt rushed. The subpar supporting actors and the hurried storyline made it hard to form an emotional connection with the characters. I'm not familiar with the main character's background, but I wish the film had explored her origins and upbringing in more details. What I enjoyed most was the soundtrack, which set the mood and carried me through the movie, despite its challenges. The main villain, June, was a standout-her minimal dialogue and badass presence were perfection. Overall, the story felt underdeveloped, and with more time, a detailed narrative could have elevated the film significantly.
I used to be a wrestling fan, especially women's wrestling-until I found out it was all scripted. But this movie completely changed my perspective.
The film is incredibly well done. The writing, acting, and pacing are top-notch-there were no boring moments. The story kept moving, and it beautifully introduced all the key characters. I loved that it was based on a true story-that always gets me. To my surprise, I found myself genuinely cheering by the end.
The movie is both inspiring and educational, blending history and sports in a powerful way. It tells the story of Mildred Burke, the first million-dollar female athlete and a true pioneer in wrestling. Her journey is captivating, and the film does justice to her incredible legacy.
If you're a female wrestling fan, or just someone who loves real stories of grit and glory, this movie is a must-watch. It's a brilliant production, and honestly, it might just win you over again-like it did for me.

Too many modern movies today dig right into the dark and gritty side of things for shock value. I feel this is a weak technique in the same way some modern wrestling companies go right for the shock value rather than story. Don't be fooled, Millie's story could have done that easily, but Ash and Alston dug into the heart of the inspiring side of Mildred's story and made it complete movie that can be enjoyed by an entire family without having to cover eyes or ears. Determination, hard work, and following your dream is what this story is about. It's about seeing your goals and realizing it without loosing yourself and your values in the process.
With a period pieced setting which looks and feels authentic without being obvious I think the cinematography was done very well. Also with the writing and Ash's directorial style there is thus feeling like this could have been a long lost movie from the 80s that could stand side by side with his legendary father John Avildsen's movies, which I grew up on. I could see myself playing in the arcade then heading into watch a back to back matinee at my local mall theater.
This movie was a breath of fresh air that made you think, invest, and ultimately feel good after watching it. First movie in a while I've wanted to watch multiple times because it does what movies are supposed to do. Take me out of my life's challenges for a second and inspire me to want to get right back into them swinging afterwards.

Ask any reviewer how many sports biopics they have seen and the answer will always be "too many." QUEEN is an ambitious little project, you can tell that by the over-two-hour runtime. The pacing, the script, the editing, everything is just slightly uneven and unpolished. However, to compensate, there is a legitimate sense of fun imbued in the film, something not common in these sorts of tales. Lots of hidden talent both in front of and behind the camera. Emily Bett Rickards will shock her fans from the Arrowverse as she digs into the lead role and gives it everything she has got. Behind the camera is the son of one of America's best-known directors, and playing the "heel" in the story is a young woman with sharply defined features not seen since the days of Clint Eastwood. His daughter, in fact. Entertaining. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
