"I just watched iron claw and had to hold back a gasping sob so hard that I thought I was going to puke," another moviegoer wrote on X. "I got in the car and immediately started crying again."

"A heartbreaking tragedy steeped in Americana," film critic James Preston Poole wrote on X. "Efron, White, Simon, and Dickinson add such interiority to their portrayal of the Von Erich family that it makes what happens sting so much more. Artful, empathetic, and at times exhilarating. Wiping tears away."
