‘The Iron Claw’ uneven tale of wrestling family

Writer-director Sean Durkin has become perhaps by accident an auteur of wrecked families with such films as “Martha Macy May Marlene” (2011), TV’s “Southcliffe” (2013) and “The Nest” (2020). He continues to explore them in “The Iron Claw,” a film I had a hard time taking seriously because it insists on presenting professional wrestling as a genuine competitive sport.Based on the true story of the Von Erich family originally of Texas, “The Iron Claw” asks us what to think of a father of four sons who is happy to rank them to their faces.
