A lot of people already have seen it, while the embargo is still up (not sure when it will be lifted) here are a couple out of the theater reactions:

 Sorry but I am SO anxious to see this film, just need to share my excitement as I find myself thinking about this film DAILY since I saw the trailer.

WHAT. A. FILM! I'm still reeling from my watching experience yesterday. Went with two good friends of mine who have maybe a bare bones knowledge of anything wrestling, yet they connected to this so well. Astonishingly harrowing at times to be sure, and I now get why they opted out of having one brother further showcased because ... well just be sure to take your SSRI's before going into this flick. I did my best but I was a sobbing freaking mess (with VERY good reason considering the what/how of a certain scene plays out.) All fucking heart this one. Legitimately, this is a family picture first, that happens to have wrestling as the background.

 

Also, yeah that Flair cosplayer is cringe AF!

Fantastic movie, one of the best ensembles of the year. I was only vaguely familiar with the Von Erich family before seeing it, so I was braced for tragedy but didn’t know the specifics. The last 15 minutes or so had me pretty weepy, but thankfully there were some happy tears in there as well.

It was a beautiful note to end on that Kevin did get to fulfill his dream of having a ranch and having his whole family live there, it just had to be a new family that he started, not his brothers. 


And as someone who mostly knows wrestling from the Mountain Goats album Beat the Champ, I was excited to see Chavo Guerrero Jr. in the credits.
