Though individual parts work, this indie film from actor-writer-director Ryan Bottiglieri never fully unites its various elements and disparate tones into a well-crafted whole. Go to Full Review

05/11/2022 This is one of the best truly independent films of the 2000s. Ryan and Britt have excellent chemistry. Riehle soars as the gay dad! Ford austin is an epic lovable creep wrestling manager. See more 04/23/2020 The brotherly love displayed by the two main actors does my heart good. See more 08/12/2018 Great under-the-radar movie about the strange world of fetish wrestling. It's a funny, touching movie about a modern family trying to keep their late-father's business going at all costs. Well-written and directed and the performances were terrific, down to the supporting cast (the recurring opposition tag team wrestling duo were hysterical). It's also an interesting and honest look at the underbelly of LA life. This is well worth checking out. See more 08/09/2018 Excellent story with a lot of heart! Must see! See more 07/21/2018 I LOVE this movie! It's a beautiful and heartwarming story about a family sticking together through thick and thin. Families aren't always comprised of those who share your DNA, yet their bonds can be just as strong, if not stronger. "Heels" is about a family brought together by love, and necessity originally, who choose to stay together because of fierce loyalty. They will do whatever it takes to keep the family flourishing. All families could take a lesson from this amount of love and acceptance! I know families related by blood, who aren't as loyal and loving! Such a beautiful reminder that we can make our own family, it's just about finding a group of people who love you and support you and will always have your back no matter what.
