I just want Jeremy Allen White to be cast as a character with a stable family life.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this magnificent film yet, please don’t be fooled into thinking you have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy this one. This is a deeply emotional story about brotherhood and loss. In a world where biopics have been deeply oversaturated, this is one of the best ones made in recent years.

“I used to be a brother. And now I’m not a brother anymore.” Zac Efron ROBBED of a nomination.

Why didn’t this movie get more recognition?! Fantastic. This deserved an Oscar! Powerful. Zac Efron is brilliant.

Somebody needs to give Zac that He-man role ASAP.

Feels so odd being so hyped for a movie that is going to be very depresssing

One of get best movies I’ve ever seen. No spoilers, but the monologue/scene at the end with his two sons when they were wrestling in the grass had me sobbing. Zac Efron is pure talent.

I have 3 teen boys… they saw this movie together when it first came out and it has changed their relationship. It has always been good but it became even better. It made them realize how much they love each other and that life is short and anything can happen so value and love on each other for as long as we have.

WOW.. The way they made it look like the actual Sportatorium.. The ring, the arena.. the outside sign.. Unbelievable. You can tell whoever made this movie really cared about it.

A24 does better quality movies than 90% from all other Hollywood entertainment companies.

Zac’s best role to date. He definitely deserved heavy consideration for an Oscar this role. Soul touching movie & performance 💪🏾🔥🙏🏾🥲

Just came back from watching this. Did not think this film would emotionally break me. It's been a long time since a movie has punched me this hard. The greatest tragedy was how much love these brothers had for each other. They loved each other more than life itself. Zac Efron, made me a believer. The man can act. Through out the film, the greatest feat he had in acting was the amount of emotion and rage he had... hiding under his face. Through out the film while he didn't say anything underneath, you saw the pain of all the devastation that was happening around him. All he wanted more than anything... was to spend time with his brothers.

I grew up in Burleson, Texas in the 70s and 80s. I can tell you with 100% certainty, the Von Erichs were god-like there. Whoever is picking the material for A24 deserves a promotion. This is going to be heavy ... whether you know their story or not.

Just saw it. And you have to hand it to Zac Efron, he totally was immersed in his part, and he was actually pretty brilliant. He is a serious actor and I look forward to seeing what he’s gonna do next.

The last 15 to 20 mins of this movie, just hit different. Great Movie, even if you wasn't/aren't a Wrestling fan, i would still recommend this. ✌️

Just saw the movie. I think Fritz Von Erich was the curse of that family they were talking about throughout the movie Nobody should have such father

Saw it with wife. Cried and held hands walking out after the credits. This movie needs more press. The box office numbers at 18 million, if accurate, are not giving this film justice. I'm not a wrestling person, but a human. This human story is just immensely powerful. You will remember this emotional roller-coaster for awhile. You will want to hug your family members after this, your kids, your spouse. Your lover.

Kinda crazy how zac efron was pretty much the only one to be super successful in the movie industry out of all the cast of high school musical. Insanely talented. Kudos to him.

Crazy, my dad was 1 of 6 brothers who grew up on a farm around that time. All his siblings are alive, including his two sisters. Really puts things in perspective how fortunate they are to still all have each other. Large families create A LOT of good fun times.

Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White deserved Oscar Nominations for this.

So happy for Zac

It’s a sin that this movie didn’t get any Oscar nominations. Zac absolutely deserved one.

I saw Kerry Von Erich wrestle when I was 6 yrs old. The NWA came to my tiny hometown and put on a show at our high schools football field. Still remember it 40 yrs later. These guys were legendary.

Incredible movie. The whole movie, you could feel the heavy, emotional, unbreakable bond and love these brothers had for one another. So tragic, but what an awesome ending with Kevins whole family coming to their ranch.

Zac Efron is really (pleasantly) surprising me with his choices the past few years. This juicy role will give his acting talent a real chance to shine again. I hope he’s properly recognized for it

“I used to have 4 four brothers now I’m no longer a brother.” -Kevin Von Erich 😢

I still can remember watching them wrestle . I would stay up late or wake up early to watch wrestling . My friends and I would mimic all the wrestlers move. My favorite was the claw

this the kind of movie that gives you a reason to be grateful and to never take anything for granted. Masterpiece

For wrestling fans we know just how hard this is gonna hit For non-wrestling fans, oh boy get ready…

“Once I had five brothers and now I’m not even a brother” the saddest quote I’ve even heard

This movie hit home when we saw it. It's so beautifully told and shot. I've never cried as much as I did watching this

I’m still devastated after watching this movie

If you've never heard of the Von Erich family, I suggest looking into their story before seeing this film if you're faint of heart because it's legit one of the most gut wrenching and tragic stories you'll ever read. Just be prepared if you plan on seeing this.

A24 killing it AGAIN. This looks phenomenal. As a pro wrestling fan I’ve been waiting so long for a movie like this. Hope it wins an Oscar.

Finally Zach will be recognised as a serious actor. Love it.

Вчера смотрела этот фильм, сегодня пересматривала с сыном. До сих пор гуляет в мыслях этот портрет с семьей, где братья все вместе. Потрясающе сыграно, так проникновенно, я до сих пор думала, что этот фильм снят в 70годы. В актеров влюблена, просто бомба❤

This movie is going to be one of the most tragic wrestling stories to be shown for big audiences. As a wrestling superfan, the von Erich story is not about a curse, it's just about the unity of brothers who got into the wrestling business by a legendary but tough father who controlled them and broke them down to turn them into wrestling superstars in Texas, for WCCW (World Class Championship Wrestling). I hope that the story will be very truthful and respectful to the Von Erichs, but show the actual horrible truth about their struggles with depression, drug addiction, and just breaking their bodies and minds to keep WCCW successful by their father, but soon with all of it, all the brothers, except for Kevin, would be dead by their own addiction or by their own hands due to what they went through. So far, the movie looks good, Zac Efron looks a bit weird cast for Kevin Von Erich, but to be honest, movies shouldn't cast people for looks, but only for their acting chops, so I just hope Zac will do Kevin Von Erich right, but everyone else looks good enough for their respected roles. I'm praying that the movie is great because I think Wrestling should be told more in Movies, like what the wrestler was or now The Iron Claw, I think the wrestling business is very dramatic and eventful for a movie, but yet has very awful, tragic stories that could be a good portrayal for a movie. I hope it does well.

I was 17 and worked security for Will Rodgers Coliseum in Fort Worth where they wrestled every Monday night. The Von Erichs were our heroes. It was like walking next to Superman. It was my job for a time to carry the wrestler's clothes and props to the back. I would even get to help a wrestler from time to time. I got to appear in the opening (3 seconds.lol) of the Highlander movie. It was a magic. I was the kid that got to carry Superman's cape. Thank you, Von Erichs.

Wow! I applaud to Zac Efron! Inhuman proportions and talent!

Zac Efron was truly amazing in this one

I just learned about the Von Erich family and the tragedies that they have endured over the years, this film is gonna hit me so hard. The cast looks incredible. Can’t wait to watch the film!

Holy shit he actually became the "the bear", he looks HUGE

I watched this movie last night. Very sad and full of brother's love in this family. I watched All-Japan wrestling TV program in 80's. In the program I knew the tragedy 40 years ago. In Japan this brothers or fabulous free birds were not so popular though, but I remember them. Not exact happy ending though, his boys words and New big family photo makes me feel very glad. from Japan🇯🇵🇺🇸 In 60's or early 70's Erich took his kid to the memorial hall in Hiroshima, he talked how terrible wars were to his kids. from wiki I hope their father was great one for kids.

Right after I was born October 18, 1980, my mom and dad, with my 3 older brothers met the Von Erich's, ALL OF THEM at DFW airport after they had fun at Six Flags in Arlington. We headed back to San Antonio. We took a picture with them. It's in the archives somewhere, but we did that. They became my favorite wrestling family after that. Kevin & Kerry were mine. We've had a lot of Iconic entertainers in Texas history in my lifetime die or be killed WAAY TOO YOUNG, but I'm glad they existed at least for me to grow up seeing them. RIP Kings👑 & Queens👑

There's just something about A24 films that really draw my attention. It's not simply the pure aw ideas and adaptions but the video quality of it all. Truly something pure and magnificent. I legit wouldn't have a second thought if they had their own streaming service no matter the cost.

The movie turned out to be much better than i expected. It really touched me and nade me feel and think a lot. Actors and director did a really great job! I wanna live that life forever💪💪💪♥️

Fantastic movie, Zac effron is officially a true actor. He gets the slow claps out of all slow claps. Great job on this one.

Along with 2008’s The Wrestler, seeing what these performers go through and the sacrifices they make in the name of entertainment is something. I hope by watching movies like this, people begin to respect these athletes. I’m stoked for this one.

i really love that shot at the start where hes going back and forth between the ropes. that building of tension is incredible.

The small details in the movie was everything, you can enjoy it as a wrestling fan or not a fan. Too good

We're here to restore justice to the wrestling federation that our father built with his own two hands. The hands that were passed down to us. The hands that will deliver the iron claw to you! ... I love it !!! 🤠

As a Texan and as a wrestling fan, this may be the greatest thing ever given to us in a motion picture.

Once i heard "People said our family was cursed", I knew it about the Von Erichs! One of the saddest stories about one of the most talented families in wrestling. My Grandma once said that they were "Simply the FINEST men she had ever laid eyes on".

One of my early memories of kerry rolling into our small texas town at full speed in a white limo sliding up near the ring and gets out and wrestles for five minutes. Waves and hops into limo and peels out and i was standing in a dust cloud. Was so awesome! Cant wait to see this even knowing how tragic it all ended.

The fact they're using Rush is awesome

A24 is rising the ranks of hollywood with really good quality movies while also letting creators do their things and paying everyone equally for the work they did.

Just got out of the movie theatre…. I’m speechless. This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and I mean that. What an amazing story, messages, cinematography, soundtrack, artistic lens, and emotional rollercoaster! 12/10 Hands down 🙌🏽😭💯🙏🏽❤️

This series is perfect, I can't her enough of watching!

Every time I hear the song now I immediately imagine the triple arm bars to the face.

Seeing Kerry on a motorcycle, knowing what happened, gave me chills.

I was already hyped for the cast, but Holt McCallany as the Dad made this a must-see for me! I miss Mindhunter so much!

From wrestling to tears. What an emotional, heart warming and sad movie. That really is a cursed family isn’t it. I wasn’t sure about this film as I’m not a wrestling fan but it’s not just about wrestling. 10 out of 10 !!! Zac is massive!! I wonder what role he will play next 💪🏼

What a awesome movie. Zac deserved a award for this movie

Just saw this yesterday. I’m still processing my emotions, this is a film that is going to linger on your heart and mind for long time. It was so well done, so well casted. I had no idea what I was walking into but I’m glad I saw it, probably the best movie I’ve seen in a long while.

Just finished it. As a middle child with 3 brothers who aren’t in my life anymore… this movie broke me. 10/10 amazing film.

What an awesome trailer! What an incredible movie! My sons and I were not dry of eye, when the credits rolled

Now we all know Jeremy Allen White is my favorite actor, then Zac Efron, then Keanu then Denzel. But the rankings can always change!

For the VERY FIRST TIME in my life, I have a movie that I can see in the theater with my Uncle who introduced me to wrestling in 1991 when I was just 4 years old. He always told me stories about the Von Erichs and the Fabulous Freebirds rivalry and now after 32 years, we finally have our own movie to go see together and his health is on the decline pretty badly so I’m very happy to be able to share this moment with him. 🙏🙏🙏

As a huge old-school wrestling and Kerry Von Erich fan, I'm so excited for this movie. It looks so well made and I know how tragic the cursed life of the Von Erich's was, so this will make for a deep and powerful rollercoaster of a film.

Efron really hulked up for this role.

My mom went and watched them every weekend in east Texas back in the 80s. Even has a pinch of leg hair from David’s leg.

My best friend and I went to go see this last night and we were both absolutely blown away. It's heartbreakingly sad and beautifully made. The acting was very good and kept our attention the entire time. Zac was beyond brillant as Kevin. The whole cast was gold 🎉

I'm so proud of Zac. He's really come a long way since his Disney days. I hope he's still acting when he's 70. I see a few Oscars under his belt before he retires.

Thank you very much for these very beautiful scripts and films

first movie in a LONG time that had me sobbing

A24 making movies the people want to see!

One of the most gifted and talented families in the history of wrestling. A story which needs to be told and will do extreme justice to the name.

I enjoyed the movie but it was so sad because it was a true story. For me as Texan, I was surprised I’d never heard of this family. I’m a huge Rush fan and it was awesome to hear Tom Sawyer. I thought about Neil Peart the great drummer who had a tragic life and thought about him too. Too much sadness 🥲.

This movie was soooo good to be true, Texas Tornado you will live on forever in our hearts! An immortal legend!

Zac has really nailed down the voice and mannerisms of Kevin from what I've seen so far. This is going to be one hell of a devastating film.

That "I told you to look out for him" had to be fritz yelling at Kevin over one of the other brothers death. The emotion and anger in that one line is fantastic. Im prepared to cry that night

Great film. As a dad, it was a good reminder of what matters. Zac was the only one that MAYBE could’ve been a heavyweight. Was heavyweight 165LBS back in the 80’s. 😂

If anyone wants an in-depth read on the subject, the best article I've found is "Six Brothers" by John Spong (Texas Monthly, October 2005).

What a nice wholesome looking Christmas movie

Dude, give a raise to whoever put this trailer together ! This was phenomenal! Hyped for this movie.

man i knew nothing about the family, but i knew the movie was going to be painful. the whole length had that depressing vibe in it despite a lot of scenes being shot in sunlight. beautiful movie, and a beautiful performance by zac, and all others.

Just watched this movie , what a performance by zac and other articles love you guys this time you deserve an Oscar

I just left the theater. This movie was excellent! I can’t remember the last time I shed a tear while watching a film.

Damn Zac Efron is a beast. Im excited for his acting

As brothers they look so similar, brilliant casting!

A great movie about brotherhood and familial obligation ❤❤❤, those themes don’t get depicted enough in the culture everything is always an attack on those things

For anyone that knows their history, the moment in the trailer that guitar riff hit... I know you felt it.

Zac continues to make incredible choices for roles. He has become a generational talent.

So happy for zac

A very beautiful film, and I thank the directors for this film

Went to the theaters on a whim and saw this movie with no clue what it was about, not a wrestling fan or anything, didn’t know about this family… one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time!

Just saw this in the theater and lemme tell ya: if ever you've seen a trailer and wondered if it lived up to the actual film, this is the one. It'll be a crime against humanity if no one gets a major award from this. It really is that good.

Bro I couldn't process Zac Efron looking THAT buff and swole 😂

Any film that blasts Rush gets my seal of approval

As much as it breaks my heart watching this trailer it makes me happy to know that the legacy of the Von Erich’s live on. To me the greatest family in the history of professional wrestling.
