The Damned United - Personal Response

I was reluctant to watch this film, the reason being that the subject of football simply bores me. For the first hour of the film, I wasn't interested at all However, in the last half an hour, the film focused more on the relationship between Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, rather than the football aspect and I was much more engaged with the film. The performances were great, especially because the end credits showed clips of the real Brian Clough, and we could see how well Michael Sheen did copying his accent and manner.
