Tara Brady Irish Times Don't expect many revelatory details from this fond, fair film. Rated: 3/5 Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Most of the talking-head interviews here are second tier and their insights little more than pub anecdotes. Rated: 2/5 Feb 26, 2017 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) Best's fame had percolated to the farthest corners of consciousness, beyond soccer to stardom. And that was his curse, and his blessing. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Since the Oscar-winning success of Amy, the bar for biographical documentaries has been set high. Daniel Gordon's portrait of George Best clears it by a mile. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review John Byrne RTÉ (Ireland) There are several truly splendid moments to savour and candid interviews with some of the main players in George Best's life, especially his first wife Angie and old pals such as Pat Crerand and Mike Summerbee. Rated: 5/5 Mar 2, 2017 Full Review Aine O'Connor Sunday Independent (Ireland) The sum total is effective and certainly no hagiography, it paints a rather complete and sad story. Rated: 4/5 Feb 27, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

It isn't. Predictable cliches and no fresh insights. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
