The Iron Claw: the crazy truth, the shattered masculinity and the triumph of Zac Efron
Description
We buckled ourselves down for a film about shattered masculinity (one of Han's favourite genres) and came away wholly impressed, but conflicted. Why didn't it make most of us cry? What was missing? How can one family have so much tragedy? How did we find ourselves scrutinising male actors' bodies? The double standards! Plus, we discuss the lack of awards recognition and whether actually, that kind of makes sense? There are a lot of questions, but one thing that is UNquestionable, is that this is Zac Efron's career best.
Written and directed by Sean Durkin. Starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Lily James and Stanley Simons.
