Fans are blaming The Academy for neglecting such fine art.
Here is what industry insider Jeff Sneider posted onXin support of the film:
“Watched THE IRON CLAW again. The Academy — and A24, frankly — did that movie dirty. Shoulda gotten the FOXCATCHER treatment.”
Watched THE IRON CLAW again. The Academy — and A24, frankly — did that movie dirty. Shoulda gotten the FOXCATCHER treatment. Durkin’s best movie by far. Will age better than most of the Best Picture nominees.
