If you are a fan of Mexican wrestling and are interested in the representation of gay wrestlers in its history, this is the film for you. Cassandro is otherwise a classically conducted biographical drama in all respects, practically in no way breaking out of the established templates of similar stories, but it must be added that it is also very solidly executed and led by a good performance by Gael García Bernal, although he does not resemble the real Cassandro at all.
