didn’t love this but loved parts of it! as a whole, still feels slightly too close to the v oversaturated strain of sports biopics. fucking spectacular performances across the board, and really enjoyed the moments of contrast between the dramatised version of the sport on tv and the reality of the von erich boys life and upbringing. just as a whole didn’t present me with anything ‘new’ despite not knowing anything about the story going in. had a very sore back and a headache for the entire screening so it was kinda like watching this in 4DX imo.
