Review of Eddie the Eagle (2016) by Andrew L. Urban for Urban Cinefile — 15 Apr 2016
The inspirational story - with many echoes of Billy Elliot - is adapted into a mawkish attempt at a hero's journey, and undermined by a characterisation of the genuine Eddie Edwards by a terrible miscalculation on the director's part.
