The Iron Claw

From tribulations and triumphs to tragedies, Durkin wields this true-life saga with the precision of a scalpel to expose the underlying agonies of American fathers, sons, and brothers.

DoP Mátyás Erdély brings his camera in tight during the body-slamming action, so much so that you can almost smell the baby oil.

...a heartbreaking dissection of fraternal tragedy.

...crowd-pleasing wrestling saga grapples with toxic masculinity.

...the sickest part of the film is that the manicured, but still tragic, tale made me want to watch more wrestling.

...bjuder på fin underhållning, ett stycke spännande historia, bra skådisinsatser, en skön visuell värld, samt en och annan lärdom om toxisk maskulinitet.
