Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) The trajectory of the film is as predictable as that of Georgie's best free kicks, but director David Scheinmann recreates the Eighties in exemplary fashion and tells the boy's story with heart and humour. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator The trouble with Believe is that, unless you are ten years old or under, which I'm assuming you are not, you won't believe. Not for a second. Not for a minute. Not a word of it. Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies Sweet while it lasts but fleeting in memory. Rated: 2/5 Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail Believe has its heart in the right place and it's nice to see a homely British film about family life. A bit like watching your own team, you'll feel yourself cheering it on regardless of how badly it is playing at any given time. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Whether wondering why he survived the 1958 Munich air disaster or bantering with Georgie and team-mates, who have no idea who he is, Cox is a delight. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2014 Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) A mawkish tale of the beautiful game supposedly based on true events. Rated: 2/5 Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Probably would have to be a Man United fan to enjoy this. How much of it is true leaves alot to be desired. Only watched it for Brian Cox. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review farah r An inspirational story told through good performances and decent cinematography. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member za site fanovi na Manchester United!

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The trajectory of the film is as predictable as that of Georgie's best free kicks, but director David Scheinmann recreates the Eighties in exemplary fashion and tells the boy's story with heart and humour. The trouble with Believe is that, unless you are ten years old or under, which I'm assuming you are not, you won't believe. Not for a second. Not for a minute. Not a word of it. The odd good moments don't make up the cliche story and a seemingly weak script and the cast are ok but feel it doesn't give justice to the 1958 Munich air disaster but for a family friendly film, does give it some heart. The film just feels rushed and very, very predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
