Review of The Damned United (2009) by Jack W — 26 Feb 2010
Now this is what film is all about. Great story, acting, direction, cinematography, sound design , production design and narrative structure. The film unfolds seamlessly and while it helps to know a little about EPL soccer and British language and attitude towards soccer the average viewer can watch effortlessly.
The story is an amazing one, telling something almost unheard of in the sports world. Helping propel the story is the performance by Michael Sheen who is just one of the best, most underrated actors right now.
His supporting cast is great as well. The technical elements of the film all work, pushing the narrative and keeping the viewer engaged and entertained, and this is a mark of great directing. I loved this film so much I actually am keeping it from Netflix for awhile so I can watch it a few times more.
Just a great work.
