Critic Reviews of "The Damned United"
St. Louis Post-DispatchNovember 24, 2009Two things that the British know that most Americans don't: Michael Sheen is the best actor in the English-speaking world; and soccer is the only football that matters.
Orlando SentinelNovember 11, 2009The Damned United is a most entertaining study in obsession wrapped in a traditional sports movie.
Detroit NewsOctober 30, 2009The Damned United is a thoughtful and entertaining study on the perils of ambition that has little to do with soccer and a lot to do with being human. Well-played.
The New RepublicOctober 23, 2009One of [its] primary pleasures...is that, in choosing a topic as narrow and parochial as the fate of an English soccer club, Morgan has relieved himself of any duty to persuade us that the events he describes are of world-historical import.
Dallas Morning NewsOctober 23, 2009A finely constructed and fiercely entertaining soccer movie that deals more in pride and obsession than penalty kicks.
Chicago ReaderOctober 23, 2009[Michael Sheen] adds to his gallery of public figures (Tony Blair, David Frost) with a sharp performance here as the legendary UK soccer coach Brian Clough.
Film Comment MagazineOctober 20, 2014The Damned United eliminates the existential anguish and pain that propelled Peace's novel, and curtails its lowering style.
Las Vegas CityLifeJanuary 31, 2011as foreign for American audiences as a story about one of Billy Martin's stints with the Yankees would be in the U.K.
QuickflixOctober 27, 2010If soccer is a Shakespearean drama, then The Damned United is Richard III.
Suite101.comSeptember 25, 2010Michael Sheen has played vampires and werewolves, but works up his most insatiable bloodlust as Brian Clough in this sharply observed, superbly acted drama that realizes sports forms as nasty a symbiotic relationship with a nation's people as politics.
sbs.com.auAugust 09, 2010Morgan, Hooper and Sheen have crafted a moving, funny and loving tribute to the spirit of a man who effortlessly defined the spirit of the greatest sport ever.
Concrete PlaygroundApril 20, 2010A provocative, darkly funny and particularly damning character study of hubris couched in idealism.
