Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Aiden Pierce The love of the golf fell upon the young, optimistic heart of Seve Ballesteros of Pedrena, Spain, signaling the start of a long affair of greatness. As a child prodigy, knowing with full confidence that he was going to be a champion someday, Ballesteros grew into one of the most beloved and inspirational European professional golfers of all time. Seve the Movie beautifully follows Ballesteros' path from skipping school to hit golf balls on the beach near his home, to traveling across the world for golf tournaments, winning trophies. Director John-Paul Davidson's creative direction is a driving force behind the tribute to the legend, as well as the ability to capture the real personality of Ballesteros through the young actor, Jose Luis Gutierrez, who portrays young Ballesteros in the film. Seve the Movie explores the challenges that Ballesteros was faced with in pursuit of his dream, as well as allowing the viewer to peek inside his genius mind behind golf technique. When talking about Ballesteros, a speaker in the film simply says, "He strode like a champion." After seeing Ballesteros' charisma and charm played out in the biopic, I know that statement is spot-on. In all, Seve the Movie informs, motivates, and most importantly, reminds the audience of this man's dedication to the sport he loved.

bobdbaker Having watched the film it shows the greatest players are those who work the hardest. The film is a great inspiration to all that anything is possible and it all comes down to W A N T and how badly you want it! The mix of acting bringing the story of Seve with Seve telling the story of his life gave a great sense of the passion he and his family had and what a great family they all are. Well done to all involved in this film and hopefully in time it gets shown on TV!! Having seen Seve play over many years winning tournaments with that passion that few others have the film takes you back and shows how he grew up and how that passion was born? We see the places where he grew up, Yes the film Is a documentary biography and the sad ending leaves a genuine sense of loss of a great sportsman. What makes this a great film is that mix of story telling but the person who the film is about actually involved in telling his story.The sad ending with Seve actually talking about his illness and his determination and struggle to keep going gave the film a truly emotional ending.

Venetia Holland I hardly ever give things 10 out of 10, bar Casablanca and Seven, but this film certainly achieves what it sets out to: an enthusiastically-told tribute to what must've been an amazing man. Slightly saccharine flashbacks to his childhood are offset by jaw-dropping footage, interesting interviews and an ending which keeps picking up in emotive punch.Self-indulgence, however, is never a problem (despite a near two-hour running time) as the flashbacks actually end up serving the documentary footage well (the young Seve is a revelation, albeit in a highly specialised role) while the real Seve and his contemporaries add more gravitas, relevance, humour and pathos to the making of this great sportsman.Rounded of with a thumping if samey score, this gets top marks for innovation. One or two less for overall enjoyment perhaps, but that's merely the limit of the story's limited confines. Different, dazzling in places, but they make the best of what's available. And no-one should be penalised for that.

robsmithy57 From the poster this may look like a niche sports film but in reality it's a heartwarming tale about the human condition, taking your chances and forging a way through when the odds are stacked against you.Admittedly, not everyone can do this! Seve was blessed with awesome ability, drive, an engaging charisma and self belief that most people lack. But even if you can't relate you willingly go on this lavish, lovingly told tale from inspiring roots to inspirational super stardom.Equal parts sweet, nostalgic, enlightening, uplifting and ultimately bittersweet, it's well worth checking out even if you're normally put off my golf. I couldn't fault it, especially since it's ably assisted by a gripping score (particularly the theme). I was in from the first beat in tandem with the pounding oars. Bold, beautiful and borne unashamedly of fans.
