Beckham

The directing in this is so intriguing. Especially the players all watching the game film, us as an audience looking directly into their face while watching. And then the projecting of the film onto their faces. So so cool. This is for everyone it's not just for football teams or Beckham fans. But definitely can real anyone in because of how it tells the story of his background. The amount of people they had come and do interviews was really spectacular. I will definitely be watching more than once. It's easy to binge through or you can spread it out. I would recommend this to anyone. Very worthwhile.

I'm a Man Utd fan so was immediately drawn into this documentary. We see a young David Beckham playing on the school football pitch to training on the grounds of Manchester United to being one of the most recognised brand/face in the world.

He talks about his relationship with his wife and Sir Alex Ferguson, the allegation of that extramarital affair and the bullying and abuse he suffered after the 1998 red card against Argentina.

We see David Beckham getting into his bee-keeping... check out his initials embroidered on his bee-keeping suit! We get a glance into DB's amazing colour coordinated wardrobe (I'm so jealous!!) There are loads of interviews with Victoria, family, Sir Alex Ferguson and various team mates and friend's.

Altogether, there are four episodes, each about an hour long. There were moments in the documentary that were quite uncomfortable to watch such as the aftermath from the sending off in the 1998 World Cup against Argentina and a heartfelt moment when DB was overcome with emotion towards the end of his last ever football match for Paris Saint-Germain.

What a brilliant and an amazing career this man has had. The whole documentary was well made and fun to watch even if you're not into football but just appreciate what David Beckham has achieved in his life so far. I was gripped throughout.

I was just there for Posh and ended up cheering with the goals and wins and devastated when England didn't take the World Cup. Lol!

I suppose being clueless about football worked out for me. I had no idea about the outcomes of the big games or what David's next career move would be. Everything felt fresh and thrilling. Honestly, his life is like something straight out of a movie.

What I vibed with the most was that pure 90s and 00s nostalgia. Man, those were some wild times, peak capitalism and pop culture madness.

Absolutely recommended!

I've got 53 characters left to be able to drop my review, so I'm just adding this bit in.

From the outside David Beckham may seem like a talented sportsman who shot to fame with good looks and famous wife. This is the story of a young boy who was dedicated to football and through his dedication and practice supported by loving parents achieved what others can only dream of.

I grew up with David on my TV screen and Victoria on my cassette player but this tells the story of a man out for perfection, approval and happiness at all costs. It shows the hurdles you need to overcome to be the best. After watching I have new found respect for Victoria and can sympathise with her as she sees the boy she loves grow to a man who had something to prove. After watching I genuinely think he wouldn't be half the man he is today with such a glittering career nor have such a loving family if she hadn't stuck by him and supported his decisions. Its a story about him but ultimately about how he was made by a loving mother, compulsive father and accommodating wife. The talent was there but the people in his life enabled it. Really enjoyed, especially the small parts with his kids and him at home. Would like to see a Spice Girls documentary next.

David is the complete midfield genius. He's one of the greatest and is easily perhaps one of the best footballer players I've ever witnessed personally.

He's from the generation just above me so I grew up watching everything which was expected from him and that was an awful lot. Too much.

When the fateful sending-off happened against Argentina I saw that on TV like so many millions if not billions of other World Cup viewers from across the globe.

It was a very sad moment but it was also unfortunate. What is extremely sad and unforgiving is how the public treated David after it happened. The gutter UK press absolutely hounded him and I'm very sad that he didn't counter-sue them for what was absolutely bullying and intimidation.

I'm an Arsenal fan and it was David who took away some big potential wins for us and he was the crown jewel of the best United side I've ever seen.

He was truly a wonderful player. A complete midfielder and the best free-kick taker in decades; perhaps of all-time!

He married his teenage crush; Victoria from the Spice Girls. They were absolutely huge as a couple in late 1990's and 2000's. The documentary also focuses on her and how they fell in love and the crazy lifestyles they both experienced.

The Beckhams are now long retired and living the dream in their beautiful home surrounded by their beloved family. The documentary is heavily centricated around David's homelife as well exposing is his gifted personality traits such as his OCD nature and his astounding attention-to-detail.

He's got another level of intelligence with the way he can visualise a pass or project play before others can see even which route he takes in games.

The meticulous way he presents himself is a dream for the fashion industry and it's no wonder that he became a succesful model as much as a footballer. Could you imagine having him on your books? Instant-selling catalogue; no matter how bad!

He's also a thoroughly kind and humble and heart-warming dude with classic English gentleman habits. I'm proud that he's played for England and I'm proud to call myself a fan; even though he played for the wrong team!

This is the ultimate David Beckham documentary and all young sporting athletes should watch it to learn about what the sport does to you but how rewarding it is as well. Thank you, David!

I'm sorry that the FA didn't protect you enough and you got dropped by United and Real Madrid. You didn't deserve either!
