About This Movie

The Funks (2016) is a fascinating dive into the world of professional wrestling through the eyes of some of its most prominent figures. Directed by Michael Elliott, the documentary captures that raw, gritty essence of wrestling culture. The pacing is laid-back yet engaging, allowing each star—like Terry Funk and Bret Hart—to share their anecdotes and reflections. It's not just about the ring, though; it weaves in personal stories that reveal the emotional ties and dynamics within wrestling. The interviews feel authentic, almost like you're sitting in on a conversation with old friends, and the archival footage adds a nostalgic layer that enhances the experience. There's a charm in hearing how these legends regard their craft and each other. It’s an interesting watch, especially for those who appreciate the subtleties of wrestling's history.
