Is The Iron Claw worth watching?
The Iron Claw has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%, with audience scores still yet to be included.
In our four-star review, we described the movie as “Take a deep breath and fully give yourself to the Von Erich story, because The Iron Claw isn’t one to be missed. Bereft with one saddening act after another, the movie is close to becoming too much to handle – but coming out the other side makes viewers all the more enriched for the experience.”
Kyle Smith of The Wall Street Journal said “The film doesn’t have a conventional plot, and it’s somewhat naïve about pro wrestling, but it is an affecting look at a family for whom things never seem to work out. It’s one of the few movies released this season that frankly deals in emotions.”
Eric Francisco at Inverse agreed “Though Durkin’s movie isn’t terribly innovative in its stagecraft, it is overwhelming as an emotionally impactful drama that soars thanks to its sublime direction and its terrific actors who overpower the screen with their sweaty, out-of-breath efforts.”
The Iron Claw comes to U.S. theaters on December 22. You can check out our other upcoming movie and TV hubs below:
