Big Boys Don't Cry

About This Movie

So, 'Big Boys Don't Cry' dives into Joe Marler's journey, which is really something. It’s not just your typical sports doc; it feels raw and real. Joe opens up about his mental health, which is not often showcased in rugby circles. The pacing meanders a bit, which gives you space to absorb his thoughts and struggles. The atmosphere is quite intimate, almost like you're sitting with him over a beer. And the way they handle the topic of mental wellbeing—well, it's refreshing. It’s got a mix of personal anecdotes and broader themes that resonate with anyone, not just rugby fans. The candidness is what makes it distinctive; you'd be surprised how much vulnerability can come through in a sport known for its toughness.
