“I am not a wrestling fan but this was great!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s an interesting character study of a movie about the Von Erich family with strong direction from Sean Durkin, an interesting narrative with great themes and emotions, and great performances from all the cast members. I am not very familiar with the Von Erich backstory but the movie does a pretty good job on examining the characters and setting with strong directing from Durkin which helped bring the atmosphere and setting to the heights. The writing is the typical biographical structure but it is well-executed because of interesting themes and concepts explored and Durkinu0026#39;s direction. Many of the performances from the cast were pretty great as Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson and everyone else does a great job on their performances. Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich does a great job on portraying how awful of a father Von Erich was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany of the characters are interesting as the conflicting dynamics between the family, wrestling games, and relationships are interesting and pretty emotional at times. Alongside with the dialogue as well. There are some certain soundtrack choices that were a bit odd and there are some pacing moments that could have improved. I wouldnu0026#39;t this is my all time favorite A24 flick but itu0026#39;s another good one!”
