The Iron Claw (2023)


I had a rough time with most of The Iron Claw. I loathed the father and mother characters so much, and at the same time I was so in love with the brothers and their relationship. This made for very difficult watching. These four special and interesting characters protecting themselves from these two awful characters for so long but also buying into their judgments of them. Rough stuff. I found the film's first two acts miserable and difficult while I watched these assholes fuck up their kids. 

The ending of The Iron Claw – maybe the last 25 minutes or so – were really great. 

Actually, the whole thing was well done. I just didn’t have a very good time watching it. I wanted to punch that mother and father the whole fucking first two hours.
