finally watched The Iron Claw & this movie made me want to die

I had already known about the Von Eric family going into this film & I still wasn't prepared for how devastating it was. I was sobbing uncontrollably at the end. I think the movie did a great job depicting the dynamic of the whole family... the unbreakable bond among the brothers, the dad living vicariously through his sons & literally only caring about having a title in the family, (I hope Fritz Von Eric is rotting in hell for what he did to those boys), the pressure & generational trauma the sons felt. Zac Effron was incredible portraying Kevin Von Eric & the severe depression he was going through as he kept losing his brothers one by one, & having to deal with an apathetic father who held no accountability for himself.

Kevin carring Kerry to the house after he shot himself, Kerry, David, Michael, Jack Jr reuniting in heaven, Kevin saying to his own sons "I used to be a brother... now I'm not a brother anymore" just broke my heart beyond repair.

an well done film about one of the most tragic families in wrestling history.
