'Incredible' Netflix film based on true events is leaving viewers in tears
Netflix is renowned for its vast library of films and TV series spanning a multitude of genres. From comedies to dramas, westerns to documentaries, and even more niche categories like foreign films and music, there's something for everyone on the popular streaming platform.
The anticipation of new releases often has fans buzzing, offering them fresh content they may not have discovered otherwise. Netflix boasts plenty of original shows and films for viewers to dive into, as well as classic blockbusters. Luke Eccleston has earned a solid reputation for his candid TV and film reviews, with a particular focus on Netflix.
In his most recent TikTok video, he recommends an incredibly moving film that has just been added to the streaming giant's catalogue.
Eccleston stated: "Forget about everything else on Netflix because this is the next film you need to watch.
"It's a film everyone's gonna be talking about. It's a film that you definitely need to see as it is one of the most heartwrenching, gut punching, incredible stories you will ever see because it's actually true."
The TV fan then shared that the film is titled The Iron Claw. It premiered in the UK in February last year and follows the journey of the Von Erich brothers as they carve out their legacy in the fiercely competitive world of professional wrestling during the early 1980s.
Eccleston mentioned that when he watched The Iron Claw at the cinema he found it "genuinely unbelievable."
Providing further information about the film, which holds an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, he added: "It shows the competitiveness of wrestling and that whole entire world and how much it means to this family.
"Now, even if you're not a fan of wrestling or sports at all, like me, this is a story everyone should hear."
The TV and movie critic described it as "one of the best" true stories he has ever seen.
Eccleston went on: "So make sure you get this film on your watch list. I actually beg you to check this one out."
His TikTok clip has racked up 26y,600 views, 3,000 likes and more than 100 comments to date.
One viewer, who has seen The Iron Claw, enthused: "That film is insane. I cannot believe it's true, it's amazing."
Someone else who had seen the film was deeply touched, saying: "It's been on HBO part of their A24 collection btw! For anyone who has HBO. This movie broke me down and had me tearing on a plane. That ending."
Sean Durkin, a Canadian-American film director and screenwriter, directed The Iron Claw.
The movie's cast members include Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Lily James, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons and Holt McCallany.

Sabrina Carpenter's go-to blush that 'blends out beautifully' and 'lasts all day'
Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter previously shared that her blusher of choice is from Makeup by Mario - and it's still available to buy Sabrina Carpenter is constantly serving dreamy, baby doll beauty looks - and one of her go-to makeup products happens to be pretty affordable. Last year, the 26-year-old pop singer revealed that her blusher of choice is from none other than Makeup by Mario, costing £30. During a TikTok interview with Who What Wear, Sabrina shared the exact products in her makeup bag, including Makeup by Mario's Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in the shade: Rose Crush. "This is my obsession right now," she said. "Me writing everything down so I can buy immediately," one person commented underneath. According to the Sephora website, where this blush is available to purchase, the cream formula plumps and hydrates the skin, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, while its pearlescent pigments deliver a luminous finish. Shoppers 'stop using shower gel' thanks to new 'favourite' that 'smells better' Olivia Attwood's 'stunning' initial necklace that 'goes with everything' is on sale Not only has the product earned Sabrina's seal of approval, but it has also impressed hundreds of Sephora shoppers, with many leaving it a five-star review. One said: "Beautiful blush, very natural colour and finish. I love the cream texture, it's easy to apply over foundation or sunscreen." As someone who has been embracing the baby doll blush trend this year, a similar product I recommend is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. This costs £15 at Space NK, and is perfect for emulating Sabrina's rosy glow. The incredibly lightweight formula offers long-lasting colour that stays all day. For those who are new to blush, this Morphe Cheek Thrills Face Trio, £19 from LookFantastic, is a great way to discover which type of formula is most suitable. It provides a trio of blushers in powder, cream and shimmered balm finishes. In reviews for Sabrina's go-to Makeup by Mario blush, many beauty fans have raved about its 'buildable' texure, while others are happy with the longevity. A delighted customer wrote: "The best blush i've ever used! So pigmented, easy to blend, and lasts all day!" Someone else said: "I love this blush. @It's so buildable and I feel like I can use it on a no-makeup look and also with heavy makeup. It blends out beautifully both ways." Yet, the Soft Pop Plumping Blush wasn't suitable for everyone. One person said: "It's so pretty, but it accentuates my pores. "I'm so bummed because I really wanted to keep this, but unfortunately, I've got to return it." Makeup by Mario's Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil comes in a range of six different shades, from pale pink to soft plum hues, making it easy to find one for every skin tone. It can be applied with the brand's F1 Makeup Brush (£32), or tapped on with the fingertips for a more natural finish.

I circulated a ‘singles sheet' at my wedding – but people say it's ‘humiliating' & they'd ‘take back' their gifts
FOR many singletons, weddings are a great place to meet new people, but one couple have come under fire for their attempt at bringing them together. When Jessica Branda tied the knot back in June she decided to hand out 'singles sheets' with the names and faces of all the single people attending the big day. 2 2 But despite her good intentions, many have criticised the move as 'humiliating'. This comes after a video of the single sheets went viral on TikTok, showing off her guest's reactions to the divisive move. In the clip, Jessica, 27, showed off the sheets as her guests laughed and took pictures of them, "it was a hit, highly recommend adding this to your reception and getting everyone's reactions," she captioned the viral video, but not everyone on the social media app agreed. Among the mixed reviews, one person said the idea would be her "worst nightmare" and another agreed they would "absolutely hate this as a single person." "No sorry this is giving humiliation. I'm married but if I was single and a friend did this to me I'd take my gift back and walk out," someone else commented. Meanwhile, others thought the idea could be fun, but only if everyone agreed to being on the sheet beforehand. "I hope you asked people first, but this is fun," one person wrote. But some thought the idea was pointless, and noted that the single guests could've been sat together on a singles table. "Isn't this the point of a singles table? No need to embarrass them," one said. Liam Payne's ex Sophia Smith ties the knot as she shares stunning clips from London wedding Speaking to the Daily Mail, the bride opened up on the controversial move, and admitted she thought it would be something "funny and light hearted." The sheet, which was titled 'Tonight's Most Eligible' with a small headshot of each single guest went down a treat, according to the bride. "I had people coming up to me saying how it was hilarious especially since we included my husband's grandparents," she revealed. And although she didn't ask permission before including people on the sheet she did double check if certain guests were still single. In fact, Jessica admitted she was shocked people took it the wrong way online and went back to double check her guests were ok with it when the video gained traction. Luckily, the singletons took the viral video in their stride. "After reviewing everything, I understand some people may be sensitive to being on a list like that if they're not super secure in themselves and where they are in life,' Jessica added. The bride also stood firm in her decision though, and said the singles sheets were better than putting everyone on a table, as that can be "awkward." Ultimately, her savvy plan failed as no one ended up dating from the singles sheet.
