Gael García Bernal stars alongside Bad Bunny.
The Big Picture The first look at Gael García Bernal's Cassandro has been released today by Prime Video, with the actor giving a transformative appearance as the title character.
The film has been warmly received by critics, standing at an impressive 97% positive rate on the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregator site, from 39 reviews, with the consensus that Bernal steals the show with a charismatic and heartwarming display. Collider's Ross Bonaime gave the film a B in his review, lavishing praise on Bernal's performance, saying:
"Bernal is joyous as Armendáriz, who is beginning to become comfortable with himself, and he’s electric as Cassandro. Bernal is excellent at showing these transformations. At first, he’s thrown around the ring like a rag doll, but through his training and antics, he’s hard to beat.
Who Else Is Part of the Project? His co-star Bad Bunny is also no stranger to the world of pro wrestling. The Puerto Rican sensation has made several appearances with WWE, including acclaimed matches at WrestleMania 37 in 2021, and headlining the WWE Backlash pay-per-view event which was held in his native Puerto Rico in May of this year.
Academy Award and Emmy-winning director Roger Ross Williams takes the helm in the production of Cassandro, armed with a script co-authored by David Teague. The fabulously enjoyable and intriguing true story also features a stellar ensemble cast, featuring the likes of the BAFTA-nominated Bernal and the star of A League of Their Own, Colindrez.
