McElvisss A well-acted film with a talented cast. Clear the budget was mostly spent on said acting talent, with sets and special effects being rather lacklustre. It's a tragic story based on real events, but to me the writers just missed the opportunity to tug on the heartstrings as much as this story deserves to. Furthermore, I think more could have been done to emphasise the heroic successes of the team after the tragedy. Overall a good film, but missed the opportunity to maximise the highs and lows of the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/14/22 Full Review Audience Member Everything you would expect from a film documenting a real life tragedy. Good insight into real events, passable acting led by a good Dougray Scott as Sir Matt Busby. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm writing this review as a Man United fan. You don't often expect too much quality from a BBC film and indeed this film has some drawn out moments but the gut wrenching emotion from the actors gives a sense of life to the players memories. Although dramatised it still gives a good and somewhat realistic look at the tragic end to the Busby Babes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An extremely emotional and moving movie. An emotional rollercoaster. You will laugh, cry and feel uplifted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It covers the tragedy of Munich as accurately as I can tell. A must see for fans of Manchester united. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review r 9 A powerful telling of one of English football's biggest tragedies. Well paced, well shot film. David Tennant plays the role of Jimmy Murphy tremendously. The only negative is the over the top, perhaps over-simplified, portrayal of Matt Busby.
