A guilt pleasure?

 

Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In (2021)


Directed by Jason Ferguson this documentary has contributions from a number of members of the Ferguson family. We follow the career of Sir Alex Ferguson as framed by a recent health scare.


I am a United fan and even I expected this to be a some what self indulgent documentary as it is directed by the subject's own son but it does do a fairly decent job of not over indulging in sentimentality. Now I am probably the target audience for this film so my views should be taken with a grain of salt. I really enjoyed seeing how Sir Alex's upbringing and early years shaped the man he became as well as all the vintage footage.


4/5
