A dubious sport, but nevertheless a moving film. The most important cornerstone is the toxic behaviour of parents and their unpleasant tendency to realise themselves or what they have not achieved in their children. The so-called Von Erich curse is less mystical than the members of the family would like to explain, it is this so-called father. But I don't want to pin it on him alone, the heartless mother also plays her sad role. Unbelievably, the tragedy shown in this family is based on true facts. What does parental love and care mean? How far can you go for sporting success?
The wigs are bad, the acting performances are rather mediocre, but the physical performances in the film in preparation for the body transformation are incredible. And the film has its heart in the right place, concerning all the actors involved. Above all, the bond between the brothers is brought to the screen very well. When I said "mediocre performances" earlier, that's not a limitation for the film - after all, it's about real people from real life.
