Pretty Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I found this such a refreshing doc, brim full of life (produced by its charismatic lead and nostalgic nods to the hero's past) and anchored in a bittersweet reality. It also isn;t afraid to take its time with a slow build that weans you off the drama before delivering a rousing archive-led conclusion. Really could;t recommend it highly enough. My husband and his father recommended it and it certainly played to a female perspective for good old-fashioned story- telling even if the protagonist is a boy's own hero. The music is also wonderful, similarly befitting from a natural simplicity and effortlessly tracking the character arc without ever laying it on too thickly. My takeaways from this movie are two-fold - I will be among the first in the DVD queue whenever it comes out and I will be taking a holiday to Pedrena with my hubby next summer. Stunning visually and an unabashed ode to what makes a remarkable human being

Dragged along a mate last night in Leatherhead to see this ultimate tribute to a golfing god. I loved everything about this movie and it was so creative they brought Seve the kid back to life with a lovable little kid who was his spit and image, both in character and on the course. There was even about 15 minutes of new footage even I hadn;t seen before - and I thought I'd seen the lot on Seve via Dana on youtube! Really brought him back to life and paid perfect testimony to all Seve accomplished from lowly roots to the pinnacle of the game. It's a proper story, almost a fairytale. But it's all true. Seve was the greatest and while I never give anything 10 since ET, this came close. Even my mate was surprised and blubbing. DVD comes out this month, get it for anyone who loves golf, sport or has a flicker of human emotion. Seve the man delivers more feeling in a look, smile, or scowl than you'd get in most relationships.

My dad was a huge Seve fan but aside from his major achievements I knew nothing of his life. I was wide-eyed at a bold and emotive picture which opened me up to a heroic journey which shows how even the great champions are made, not born - and often by the sacrifices of others around them, not simply their own. The flashback structure is hardly Memento but all the more intelligible for it. While powerhouse ending is absolute killer - heartrending, inspiring, hopeful, and uplifting at the same time. As the audience poured out into a bright summer's evening, you could tell their thoughts were still elsewhere with Seve. I already have my dad's stocking filler for Christmas.

Motor-sport is made for the bio-pic treatment, as we have seen with Senna and Rush - fast cars, glamour, money, the international circuit, and so on. Golf, on the other hand, would not be high on most people's list of sports likely for the big screen bio-pic treatment. It really would need a very special person to keep anyone other than real fans hooked for nearly two hours (especially when most people already know the story).Fortunately in Seve golf has that story. This really is a tale where fiction could not come close to the reality - the story of a boy from so far the other side of the tracks that there are not even tracks who gets to the top of a sport more associated with money (and appalling fashion sense) than possibly any other by dint of unusual talent, allied to sheer hard work.Even so it needs a cast that you can believe in - and Seve finds it. Admittedly at the start one wondered a bit about whether this all Spanish-speaking cast would be up to it - especially the young lead - as the initial scene-setting creaked a bit at times, but once things got into their stride the result was impressive.The young lead playing the junior Seve is particularly impressive. What is remarkable is that you do not have to like golf at all to love this film. not only his golfing style looked like the real thing, but he also can clearly play a bit - well that or there is some pretty impressive trick photography or hours of film of missed shots on the cutting room floor.And it all builds to a total tear-jerker of a finale, which is impressive as we all know how it will end.You do not have to like golf (I'm no real fan), think of it as a real life rags-to-riches tale like few others. Go see it.
