7/10
Good stuff for more mature audiences
12 February 2002
"Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" is an often poignant, sometimes plaintive, and always delightful slice-of-elderly-life old guy flick which, BTW, has nothing to do with wrestling or Ernest Hemingway. With the exception of Duvall's awful Cuban accent, Harris and Duvall shine in Florida's sun as they fully flesh out their somewhat eccentric and quirky characters in this wistful, slow moving, and light hearted musing. Artful and well crafted, "Wrestling..." is recommended for viewers with sufficient maturity to tap into the many age-related subtleties woven into to fabric of the story. Younger viewers may become impatient with the film's slow pace.
