My oh my. What Sean Durkin and of course the rest of the crew did here with such a low budget is truly incredible. I enjoyed The Iron Claw really much. It was an emotional roller coaster. This biopic had a great plot. I wasn't familiar with the Von Erich family as I am not that much familiar with wrestling at all. But I was shook. The ending in particular was great. The one scene where Kerry woke up in heaven (or somewhere) and got to meet his 3 brothers again was amazing. AMAZING! The acting, theme and dialogue were all great. Holt McCallany_s role (_Fritz Von Erich) was exeptionally great if you ask me. Great cinematography, there were some great shots in this one. Great directing. Not a single bad point. I dont't have anything to criticise except maybe the pacing. It could've been like 20 min shorter.
My personal rating: -Plot (Story Arc and Plausibility): 8/10 -Attraction (Premise & Entertainment Value): 8/10 -Theme (Identity & Depth): 8/10 -Acting (Characters & Performance): 7.5/10 -Dialogue (Storytelling & Context): 8.5/10 -Cinematography (Visual Language & Lighting, Setting, and Wardrobe): 8/10 -Editing (Pace & Effects): 7/10 -Soundtrack (Sound Design & Film Score): 7/10 -Directing (Vision & Execution): 8/10 -The “It” Factor (One-of-a-Kind & Transcendent): 7.5/10
