Director Sean Durkin called the drama about the Von Erich wrestling family the completion of a “lifelong dream.”
“It’s a real privilege to make movies, but to make movies about your childhood heroes is a lifelong dream,” Durkin said while introducing the film at the Texas Theatre, an old-fashioned repertory cinema whose marquee announced 'Welcome To Von Erich Country.' Dallas proved an appropriate backdrop for The Iron Claw’s debut.
As depicted, Fritz Von Erich is a case study in aggressive parenting. He, too, was a National Wrestling Alliance champion, but because Fritz never won the world title, he’s determined for his progeny to prevail where he didn’t. So he’s created an army of buff workhorses who share as much love for one another as they do competitive resentment. As the film ended, teary sniffles were audible throughout the room.
