Harris Dickinson stole the show. He’s the highlight of this film and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

[@mistaMClaugh]

Funny how he played the most charismatic brother and was the most charismatic actor

[@jonahcano3930]

Really showed cause Zach was the stoic one and the one that battled the most under the covers

[@lh9591]

These boys come off as real brothers. I hope they win all the awards.

[@karenwilliams777]

National board of review name this one of the top ten films of 2023 and they also named them best ensemble which surprised me I would’ve assumed it would’ve went to the color purple. Shows how good this film must be. I plan on seeing it this weekend.

[@JBrotsis1]

I know this movie is primarily headlining Zac as the main star but most my attention is on Jeremy. As someone who grew up with him on Shameless and have been supporting his TV involvement, to see him on an upcoming film like this, I really hope it opens the doors to bigger films! The guy is an outstanding actor.

[@Scott-eh7fr]

I watched them when I was younger and Jerry was the favorite of them all so if it truly is correct then Jeremy should get a lot of screen time, at least in the ring.

[@ebonybb24]

I agree! His character Kerry was more known than his brother so it should be Jeremy but its biopic for the remaining brother.

[@cartersipes5971]

For me I feel like is other work he was still Lip. From what we've seen so far I think his shadow of Lip will finally be gone. I honestly haven't been pulled into his other stuff like I'm being pulled to this movie

[@itakemytime1156]

Okay, most people focus is on Zac tho😂😂😂...

[@RWAC685]

Facts. LIP Survived Chicago And Became A Wrestler.

[@pauljohn961]

I Really hope Zac Efron can get his very first Oscar Nomination

[@juanfabian482]

Cuando se estrene la película en el cine ay que gritar Oscars para que nominen a Zac Efron

[@matthewheuel2508]

He will 👌🏻

[@whitb6111]

Have you seen the movie? How can you hope someone gets an Oscar nomination without seeing their performance? What if his acting and the movie are bad?

[@rosa_stars349]

@@whitb6111 Maybe the person felt as if he deserved it in other roles and is very used to his talent among the screen. Hoping for an actor to win a prize for their acting in a movie you have yet to see isn't a bad thing.

[@stars5033]

i wish he didn't ruin his face

[@nicoleeverett1696]

Obviously I've watched Zac Efron's career throughout the years but as a long time Shameless fan and loving the Bear, im just happy to see Jeremy finally getting the recognition he so greatly deserves. Truly a talent.

[@UncleEbenezer77]

“Obviously”?

[@OmegaSaiyan92]

some career's just take awhile

[@anatrlls]

I feel like Harris Dickinson is so underrated and under-appreciated. I love them all though!

[@bbernard1981]

The Von Erichs deserve to have their story told, absolute legends, and this will hopefully be a silver lining for their family.

[@madtitan0825]

After reading their story, good lord that is depressing af

[@angelica5709]

Except the movie cuts out the existence of one brother supposedly due to the length of the movie

[@bbernard1981]

@@angelica5709 I did not realize their were 6 brothers all together.

[@chilliinsanity6898]

There is nothing legendary about low IQ, mentally ill model wannabes. Interesting story but look elsewhere for your heroes.

[@tylerjackson8476]

Im more of an Edge, Randy Orton, John Cena era… and tbh I never heard of the Von Erichs brothers… so hopefully i can learn something

[@jesussalazar1020]

I hope this film gets Oscar nominations, especially Efron & White. Efron has proven himself to be a worthy serious actor over the years, sure he'll do a funny movie every now and then, but he'll get into character even in shape for it just like his serious roles. White has sure developed his method acting since I last saw him at a young age in Law & Order even from his days on Shameless.

[@johanvoellner1849]

did you already see the film?

[@clampartist]

How can you mention JAW’s level of acting and not mention the bear!?

Teen me loved Zac Efron. Young adult me loves Jeremy Allen White. And film fan me adores Harris Dickinson - he was in Beach Rats and Triangle of Sadness (among other things) and those are some of my favorite titles. I’m happy for these guys.

Same.

My dad (R.I.P.) and stepdad were huge fan of The Von Erich brothers and introduced me to them. I might not be able to take my dad to see this but I'm so thankful that I can take my stepdad to see this!

[@ryandesain5090]

David dying was my first time dealing with death in life and it still gets me emotional 40 years later. God bless the yellow rose of Texas and the entire Von Erich family❤

[@robertwiles8106]

I can't wait! I actually saw Kevin, David and Kerry wrestle at the Sportatorium down at the corner of Cadiz & Industrial. Good times. I'm so glad to see the Von Erichs getting their due finally. They are icons of sport.

[@kartikaanjanie]

Harris Dickinson is like... A well done sirlon steak which is very yum.

[@LuchaTarantino]

As a pro wrestler I’m so proud that my art form is able to make it into more mainstream I really hope people start to understand the art of wrestling with this film and how it effects our lives and bodies

[@_pink1979]

Darren Aronofsky’s ‘The Wrestler’ (2008) gives a riveting and compelling depiction of how is your art of form, greetings from Mexico.
