A beautiful and equally as powerful film that will appeal to some people, more than others.
Two daring Jesuit priests encounter immense persecution when they travel to Japan in the 17th century to spread the word of Christianity, while also attempting to locate their missing mentor, Father Ferreira (Tetsuro Tanba) – a man rumoured to have lost his faith within the country. An emotionally charged, impactful flick that will appeal to some viewers, more than others.
Led by their demanding father, Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany), and their more conservative mother, Doris Von Erich (Maura Tierney), the inseparable Von Erich brothers chase championship glory within the brutal world of professional wrestling, while also battling their own personal demons and emotional struggles along the way. As fame, pressure and tragedy begin to consume the family, the cracks slowly start to show. An incredibly well-made, emotional and deeply moving picture that comes highly recommended.
