Two 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.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The Damned United
They love me for what I'm not... ...they hate me for what I am.
2009 · 1h 37m · R
Drama, History
Directed by
Tom Hooper
Overview
Taking over Leeds United, Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor.

The Damned United is a most entertaining study in obsession wrapped in a traditional sports movie.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
The 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.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
One 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.
Christopher Orr, The New Republic
Fresh
A finely constructed and fiercely entertaining soccer movie that deals more in pride and obsession than penalty kicks.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
