I can't recall if I'm on the record here on MNPP itself about the fact that I was pretty disappointed by Sean Durkin's new movie The Iron Claw (I did tweet about it) -- I was really looking forward to it given Durkin's fantastic previous movies (Martha Marcy May Marlene and The Nest, that is) and its exciting cast, plus the trailer showcased its clearly gorgeous cinematography. Well that last part works, at least. And several members of the cast give it their all -- I personally thought Harris Dickinson and Holt McCallany were best in show, but I also thought Zac Efron was legitimately awful and that is not, very much not, a popular opinion among people who've seen the movie (he's getting cover stories about deserving awards attention ffs) -- so whadda I know? Anyway after those Jeremy Allen White photos for Calvin Klein yesterday I kind feel like staring at Jeremy Allen White again today, and I think y'all understand. So here are some gorgeous PR photos for The Iron Claw that've been making the rounds thanks to set photographer Devin Oktar Yalkin. Hit the jump for 'em...

Harris and Jeremy yes.
I nearly watched it at the theater this week, but I find Zac Efron literally hard to look at these days ...
So I watched Saltburn instead 😜😜😜 No regrets.
Finally just saw this on HBO and I think the weak link in it is Holt McCallany (as Fritz Von Erich, the father). Not sure if it's the writing and direction of his character or his performance. As the demon monster of the movie, the character (writing) and its performance (acting and/or direction) were essential to the film's success. The boys are all good. Good enough anyway. But the movie really needed a 3-dimensional portrayal of its villain: their father. In an otherwise good flick, the cardboard cartoon of a father in it is a fail. I liked the movie anyway.
