This is an excellent story, based on the real life wrestling family Von Erich -- there are terrific performances by the father but especially by the son Kevin.
You perceive the constant striving all the brothers had to win their father's love - but never quite succeeding with a Dad that ranked his sons in his affection! Yup, crazy parenting - the Mom too only appeared to cook meals, wash clothes and did not actually show love or caring, telling her son Kevin to "work it out" with his father, she never got involved.
The father's life long obsession with the world championship of wrestling- unable to achieve his personal dream- made him so oblivious to how he was destroying the lives around him.
Really a truly compelling film on many levels and worth watching. The wrestling was great to watch too if you'd ever been a past fan!
