Recenzie: Bobby
While undoubtedly affectionate about its subject, the film also explores the misfortune and anxiety that followed England's finest defender. There's a sense of wasted opportunities, particularly towards the end of Moore's life, as well as a subtle critique of how football mistreated one of its greatest proponents. What could very easily have been a mawkish tribute becomes a portrait of a sporting legend that treads the thin line between reverence and realism. A fitting tribute to an English sporting icon.
The story is entertaining, detailed, enthralling at times and reveals what he was like as a young man through to his sad departure. I enjoyed some of the many personal and touching moments that evoked sadness at times along with a feeling that I knew him. Some of the detailed excerpts showing his affection through to his commitment as a man and a footballer come across as deep and meaningful. I really liked this docu-biopic.
