Will (2011)

Critic Reviews

• Philip French, Observer [UK]

  It's a silly symphony of embarrassment, a sentimental journey along a road paved not with yellow bricks but red cards.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  Barely five minutes in, Will is already choking on an airless script and bumping desperately off its flyweight supporting players...

• Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express

  The idea is sweet enough, recalling Africa United, but the execution is painfully amateur. Improbable, hackneyed and very dull.

• Graham Young, Birmingham Post

  This superficial family drama will appeal to many Reds' fans, but it's also so twee compared with Danny Boyle's Millions (2004) that it's unlikely anybody else will want to go near.

• Francesca Steele, Sky Movies

  It just feels rather silly, as if it assumes such a reverent audience couldn't possibly need anything as pedestrian as believable characters or a likely plotline.
