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.

I wouldn't mind watching all the tragedies in chronological order, even if it's a slow burn or it takes more than 3 hours for this story to be told. I want that pain to be felt by everyone because they were once real.

Kevin wrestled with his greatest and hardest enemy, outside the ring. he should've iron clawed that cunt fritz long ago.

Phenomenal performances, great music, tore me apart and I loved it

Saw it with my 2 brothers. We left happy knowing that brother heaven exists.

The Virgin Suicides for Dudes

This should’ve been nominated for any and all Oscar’s and a24 was stupid for not pushing it.

I have two kinds of 5 star reviews: 1) masterpieces and 2) movies that worked for me on every level. They can be both, but the Iron Claw is the latter. Many of the movie's themes spoke to me, but Zac Efron's eyes and facial expressions did most of the talking. It reminded me of Brendan Fraser's performance in The Whale in that way. Just as similarly, I think the bodies tell the story here. And its such a heartbreaking story. The Iron Claw should be getting more attention.

Well now I am lying in my bed depressed.
