Sunderland 'Til I Die

Under Quarantine F?i?l?m? Documentary Reviews #19: Saw could only dream of the torture porn that Sunderland fans go through the 2 years they are covered. Til I Die is probably the best football docu-series you can watch, it's pretty much has everything you would want without trying to manufacture unwarranted drama or conflict. Not even Hollywood could come up with such an ending like the 2019 playoffs.

Or Mephisto Runs A Football Club (and then it gets worse). The "changing the run out music" scene alone should have a big clanging hint. Still, it's not like their local rivals hit the oil state money lottery oh wait.

An object lesson in incompetence compounding misery. I bet this is on the syllabus for some sports management courses. Like an oil painting entitled simply "Oh no..."

Very cool. Look intended to be a series about a big club comeback, but something went wrong.

Amazing coverage from all aspects of a football team. I imagine if you're into football this will be great, but having the assumption that you are, it isn't as accessible as most documentaries about pastimes, competitions and fanatics. It's padded out with a lot of end-of-the-day, game-of-two-halves, after-match waffle that probably feels comfortable to some but is just drone to others. Still technically impressive documentary work though.
