Review by henry_intheuk

This documentary that chronical the story that is Rooney, depicts how a boy, turns into a man, turns into a leader, and becomes an inspiration. His greatness on the pitch is contrasted against the catalogue of mistakes off the pitch, but it is without a doubt that he is one of the greatest footballers the world has ever known. Something also depicted with grace and subtlety is Collen's role in his life, a women who originally was seen as a privileged WAG, however it soon becomes clear that above all she is a wife, a mother and woman. Her performance in this documentary either deserves an Oscar, or she truly carries the pain of what she has had to endure over the many years. It is not her strength that shines through but her vulnerability, a reminder that millions of women across the world also have to deal with the stupidity of their men. Running away, taking the kids, revelling in his millions is the easy option, an option that lesser women would have taken, Collen is not weak, foolish or naïve, she is a women with the same strength as Wayne, she is a mother with a greater commitment than Wayne and she is a wife with greater loyalty than Wayne.
