Queen of the Ring Review – A lost opportunity to tell an impactful story
Ash Avildsen adapts Jeff Leen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book following the life of the first million-dollar female athlete, Mildred Burke, in Queen of the Ring. Burke broke down barriers by wrestling men at carnivals and turning the once-illegal women’s wrestling into a revolutionary movement in the U.S. Emily Bett Rickards stars as Burke in this story of triumph, tragedy, and resilience.
Queen of the Ring Review
Queen of the Ring follows Mildred Burke, a single mom who wants to become a professional wrestler. However, with laws in place to block women from wrestling in the ring, Burke takes on men at the carnival to begin her journey to fight for women to be allowed to wrestle in squared circle.
When we meet Mildred Burke, she is down on her luck as a single mother working at a diner with her mother, seemingly with no signs of things going up.
