Roger Ebert

A lot of energy and passion clearly went into it, and there’s a drive to entertain and thrill, but it ultimately ends up feeling empty and superficial.

The Ringer

It’s a sports movie with genuine existential heft—a story about what happens when fate takes a heel turn.

Variety

The Iron Claw has a more convincing period atmosphere than 'The Holdovers,' it showcases the media theatrics of wrestling with an eerie unironic innocence.

Collider

Digital Trends

The Iron Claw is one of the year’s most affecting dramas. It’s a film that dives headfirst into a world that has rarely been explored on-screen and offers some compelling reasons for why it’s been such a constant source of pain and death over the years.

The Atlantic

The Iron Claw is a soaring power ballad of a film, rich with feeling, shrouded in darkness, but not despairing as it digs into the trials the Von Erichs faced.

IMDb

This film was way more tragic than anything I could have thought of and what makes it crazy is that it's all true.

Rotten Tomatoes

The Iron Claw is a spectacular triumph of a movie. You may call it a movie about wrestling, or a movie about tragedy, but ultimately it’s a movie about family, the power and force of it and how it affects the lives of its members.
