Review: (#1, C+) While the viewer gets all they need to know about the film from this one image, the empty background and the terrible coloring to the title lettering make it a rather underwhelming design, though I’ll give them credit for putting the rope through the “Q.”

Trailer Rating: B / C+

Review: (#1, B) A historically important moment in the history of women’s wrestling and it has the sepia-adjacent look that would keep it fitting in its time period. However, while the events have some merit in terms of cinematic treatment, the presentation is a bit paint-by-numbers, taking the audience through some expected story beats without giving them something exciting to watch.

(#2, C+) The historic nature of the film is shoved into the last half of the trailer in favor of more titillating events. The storyline fades into the background and feels superfluous by the time the trailer’s doen.
