The casting, I think, is quite strong.
Zac Efron is brilliant in it, and I wouldn't be the biggest Zac Efron guy in the world, but...
I felt like he was kind of robbed, I think, of some kind of awards attention, as was Holt McElhaney, who plays the father.
People have seen him in Mindhunter and other films as well.
You've got Jeremy Allen White from The Bear as Kerry Von Erich, the Texas Tornado.
You've got Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich.
This is lovingly shot.
It's beautifully made.
It's got some great performances, great music in it.
It is heavy, though, I would say.
And I think we can have a little clip of it now, can we?
Sure.
what a pro I'll just leave the room just to tee up what the clip is because I've selected it Zac Efron you've seen this by the way I have yeah who plays Kevin Von Erich and what do you think I think yeah I echo what Dave says pretty much entirely like it's a very heavy movie it's I don't know it's a grim watch but it's very very hauntingly good as well and interesting and
One thing I like, yeah, Hal McElhaney, who you mentioned who plays the father in it, actually spent some time in school in Ireland in Newbridge College as well.
One claim we have to one of the key characters in the movie.
He actually could have been nominated for an award as well.
But Zac Efron, Kevin Von Erich, sitting at the end of the film, watching his two sons, young sons play, and they come over to him as he's getting a bit emotional.
Lee, I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Oh yeah, that scene absolutely rocked me in the cinema.
