As opposed to nearly every comment on this site... I really liked this film, being a fan of John Lynch I found this film no exception - intelligent, "thoughtful" actor, reflecting various types of human characters, here George Best. I don't
understand why John Lynch and the co were not supposed to be shown
playing, it's not like we're watching an actual documentary of the great player...if you want to see the original games as a whole, there are many documentaries
to give you that information, this is a film... The music is great and portrays the inner battle of the character, I especially enjoyed the part with Rod Stewart's In A Broken Dream.....brilliant, brilliant. This is a film by John and his wife, the director, so there is a lot more thought to this film than John just being a random actor. Personally I am not disturbed by John (born 1961) acting George from the beginning of his success to his retiring, like I said, it's a film, not a documentary and looking identical is hardly the most important criteria here. John has
credibility and grace, charm and arrogance, "Best" is a wonderful film. PS. As John Lynch is in the leading role, maybe he should be listed first in the credits (not last, on page 2...), no? Tried to correct that but the system wouldn't allow me to do it, can someone try again? Thanks.
