The United Way

More about Cantona than the Club but still well done and very interesting,

Glory, glory, Man United Glory, glory, Man United Glory, glory, Man United As The Reds Go Marching On On On...

This review will be just a little bit biased because well, I have been a United boy since 2011 (which was a traumatic season).

Vin Diesel: it's all about family.

Guess what bro, that's the United Way. A documentary about the history of Man United, starting from one of the saddest day of the club. It's about how United recovered from this and went on to make history. It was amazing to see many of the legends, especially Cantona, as they narrated on the state of the club and the managers. Watching the goals was a treat. The end point for the documentary was a legendary one, and I was still amazed even though I knew about it beforehand.

It did felt a bit like a propaganda, especially Cantona who tried to hype the story. Felt a bit cringe at times I have to admit.

Overall, as a fan of MU this was a fun one to learn and enjoy. 8.5/10.

Cowritten, co-produced and starring (and I do mean starring in very sense) Eric Cantona who is by all accounts (mostly his) the heart, soul and talent of Manchester United (he did write this, after all).

He performs (I mean speaks) in hyperbole, aphorisms, axioms and dictum and demands the camera loves him (he did produce this, after all).

And yet, and yet, as John Oliver would say this film is still very watchable for us of a certain age if you can set aside Monsieur Cantona's close-ups and puffery.

For the rest who can't remember, or aren't intertest in, all things Manchester United before 1991, including "Eric The Red" ... this film is probably not for you.

Liverpool fan here and I have to say it's a well worth watch. Cantona being his usual crazy self. If your a fan of football then it's worth a watch no matter the team you support.

Nothing you already don't know/haven't seen in other docs, but I really liked the way the doc was made.

While all football fans *could* watch this, it may not be for everyone.

But it's a MUST WATCH if you're a United fan. The perspective on the history in this doc is unlike the other docs. Great cinematography, great music too!
