Critic's review of Best
View all critics' reviews (2)
- A narrative that sticks to the facts, following Best from his early days to his later incarnation as an after-dinner entertainer in the 90s, but offering very little insight into the man or his problems.

  Totally miscast. Dreadful depiction of the flawed genius that was George Best.

  Not very good
  
  Expected more of Bestys life story whilst growing up, but unless you are a Man Utd fan, which i'm not, this film won't interest you.
