About
"The film opens with a small child romping alongside her mother, reminding us that we've all played with such powerful giantesses, and soon cuts to re-filmed footage of a 'zoftig' lady wrestler mopping up the ring with her hapless male opponent in super slow motion. Ingeniously, Gutman goes on flashing examples of his 'signal' while wheezing, coughing, and quoting Shakespeare (she 'governed him in strength if not in lust') on the soundtrack." – J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
