Critic Reviews
-
Tom Dawson, Total Film
Wider themes of leadership and social class are explored, but it's fundamentally aimed at cricket fans, who'll doubtless relish rewatching Beefy's heroic feats with bat and ball.
-
Philip French, Guardian [UK]
It is quite as remarkable as The Damned United, Tom Hooper's film about the rivalry between Brian Clough and Don Revie.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
There's a bit of hyperbole that suggests the surprise English victory - thanks largely to Botham's heroics - changed English sport forever. But it certainly gave us some unforgettable moments.
-
David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]
It's one of those rare movies sure to appeal to cricket fans and non-fans alike.
-
Andrew Pulver, Guardian [UK]
[An] entertaining if not fantastically enlightening documentary.
