It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Grew up with Seve as my golfing hero - next to Kack Nicklaus - so always wanted to watch this film but never got round to it Firstly, it's basically a documentary, but. It has a nice easy storyline, with a decent look at growing up in Northern SpainIt documents his childhood well, and becomes a well written, if slightly predictable storySomehow, in the second half of the film, it takes on a life of its own. Lots of TV footage from the day, but somehow it works. It results in an extraordinarily emotional last 20 minutes, which I will leave you to explore Superb!!

From director John-Paul Davidson comes an inspiring sports biopic about the late, great golfing legend, Seve Ballesteros. Seve the Movie chronicles the fascinating and true account about how a young country boy from Spain grew up to become celebrated as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Throughout the film, director John- Paul Davidson beautifully intertwines real footage from Seve's personal life and career with reenacted scenes from his childhood to give viewers a full and complete look at not just Seve the golfer, but Seve the man. By the middle of the film, I realized that Seve's story was much more than just a "rags to riches" sports narrative. His story is about passion, determination, and following his dreams. Seve Ballesteros had the heart and mind of a champion, and his legacy deserves to be preserved through amazing works like this film. Seve the Movie is not just for golfers or sports fans, it's for anyone looking to feel inspired and uplifted. If you haven't seen it yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. http://bit.ly/1WBE1yk

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.

I have just left the cinema blinking my way into the late evening glow of the city lights thinking I would have been disappointed after watching a Senna type biopic. However I came away genuinely moved and entertained by this wonderful movie.I would challenge anyone who witnesses the tributes made about this truly inspirational man, that it will not bring a slight lump to the throat.The first hour and a bit does show Seve, the youngest of four brothers, battling to pursue his passion up till the point he plays his local Caddy Championships. This is interlaced with clips of his genius on show. A great deal of the action is well known and been viewed before but there are fascinating interviews around the early 80's when he was struggling to get more money for his art and of course eventually for the benefit of future Tour players.The young actor playing the 9-16 year Seve really looks and plays the part! The film does gloss over or ignores the difficult parts of his life like his time in the army or his sad divorce and his battles with the US Tour, however in the end the film felt about the right length.The film got the point across that if you have a talent and you want to be the best you have to sacrifice enormous time and effort to reach those goals. The film shows this in spades, however it should have mentioned the awful pain he was having with his back even from the start of his time on the Tour which eventually shortened his career.You do not have to love the game to be inspired by this gem and also to feel the genuine emotion from this simple but beautifully shot film.
