The Iron Claw
I love Zac Efron
Saw this movie twice in theaters so far. Walked out the first time in love with it but wasn’t sure if that was actually me or just recency bias. The second time I saw it and knew what was coming was even better. The emotion you feel for these characters is unreal. You truly believe in the chemistry between the brothers and the resentment they all feel towards their father.
This is a heartbreaking movie that still keeps you interested and wanting the best for the main characters throughout the whole film.
And while the movie claims to be 2 hours and 10 minutes it felt like it was 3 hours long in the best way possible. This movie can have a slow pace at some points which fits perfectly when it happens
Only critique with this movie is that you don’t get enough time with some brothers so you can’t grow as strong of a connection as you do with others but you still are able to feel the pain as the others when one brother dies.
One more thing, Live that Way Forever is now my favorite song ever.
The Iron Claw: 8.9/10
