Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Iron Claw (out Jan 18) is based on the true-life story of the Von Erich family - a father and five sons who emanated from Texas and found international stardom as professional wrestlers. The story is worthy, but I wasn't a fan of writer-director Sean Durkin's approach. The dad is one dimensional and the more interesting characters (like the mum) are pushed too far into the background. Grade: B-.
