Desperately wants to be inspiring and profound, but only succeeds in being mildly entertaining and sporadically eloquent. The fact most of the actors are unconvincing as athletes doesn't help, but otherwise performances are competent enough. The iconic score certainly adds to the atmosphere, although it also contributes to the melodramatic feel of certain scenes.

An excellent example of the 'inspirational film' whose goal isn't really to inspire but to give the emotional satisfaction of inspiration. It's not great cinema but the editing, music and story elements are combined perfectly to move the audience and make you cheer. I feel a bit dirty for enjoying it but I did nonetheless.

Quite bureaucratic and academic filmmaking, which doesn't really deprive the film of its other merits, such as the glorious musical score composed by Vangelis.

English through and through. A gem in the vein of Brideshead Revisited and A room with a view. A great insight into 1920's with an impressive score and great camera work.

A spectacular score, believable acting from unspectacular role-players and a great mix of politics, religion and sport help this film succeed on every level.

Nice and harmless, although not an awful lot happens. Also, everyone runs like a mong. Apparently it's period detail based on archive footage, but even still, I found myself smirking a bit inappropriately. Iconic music though.
