Leave your thoughts about Best.
| User ReviewStuart KGeorge Best's biopic. How alcohol, women, and gambling ruined the prospects of one of the UK's most promising footballers. This film would have been better being made ten years later after Best had drank himself into a liver transplant and then went out and drank himself to death, then this film would have been about addiction rather than a playboy. The casting was pretty spot on, especially for the other players. |
| User ReviewPaul DA general biography of George Best's footballing career in Manchester both on and off the field, but extremely well presented, especially in the editing as the intercut playing action throughout doesn't feel forced. |
| User ReviewDaniel BI was expecting a nostalgic trip down through the history of the legend that is George Best. But instead of a celebration of his life, the film overly concerned itself with the ins and outs of what he actually got up to during his drinking binges and dark times. What would have been a lot more interesting would have been to focus on how his behaviour affected all those around him. The film depicts Best as everybody chasing him out of Old Trafford due to his excessive drinking, and while this is true to some degree, the larger truth is that most people still loved him in spite of his behaviour. I think the film overlooks this aspect. There was also a bizarre casting decision with Jerome Flynn playing Bobby Charlton. |
