Review of Beckham

Beckham (2023)
7/10
Well done but ends abruptly

Warning: Spoilers
This intimate look into David's upbringing and his romance with Victoria was insightful. However, the documentary ends abruptly without even scraping the surface of his family life, which I understand he may want to keep personal but which would have made this a more fully fleshed out piece. In addition to this I would have liked to see more about his current life and career. The focus on his early career was interesting but leaves us wanting more. It also embellishes David in this light of perfection where I'm sure like all of us he has human downfalls that if shown might have eroded our vision of him. Unfortunately the highly editorialized and glamourized image of him, while partially true, clearly does not show the full scope of him and therefore I cannot give this full marks.
