Review of Beckham

Beckham (2023)
9/10
Loved the nostalgia
8 October 2023
I loved the footage of David as a child and young man growing into his talent and the obvious pride of his father and mother as they spoke about his progress. David bought a lot of women into football - including me - partly because he was undoubtedly talented and beautiful (I'd forgotten how damn beautiful till I watched this old footage!) - but also because of his charisma. He was everywhere in the 90s and in the UK you couldn't have avoided him or the drama surrounding his life if you'd tried. This documentary does a great job of introducing him to a new generation or as a retrospective and has an impressive cast of interviewees giving their own perspectives. Of course it's all presented from David's point of view but I watched all four episodes enthralled all over again.
