Well the Iron Claw is definitely the feel bad movie of the holiday season. Growing up reading the PWI, Inside Wrestling and The Wrestler, read alot on the Von Erichs. I was also a huge tape head and had access to their matches, obviously being a kid on the 90s Kerry was the one i was most used to cause of the Texas Tornado but the story was gripping as fuck. The story makes for pure perfect cinema as this is possibly the year's best film, save maybe The Holdovers. It feels raw, has powerful acting and has a fantastic score. Even knowing what happens it pulls the rug under you and makes you think about life in all it's depressing ways. It's the rise & fall and rise again of the Von Erich clan. I just wish it was actually a bit longer to add in more events.
