Finding Jack Charlton Ratings & Reviews
Times (UK)
Kevin Maher
The result is a film, often profoundly moving, that functions as a surrogate memory for its subject and an act of reclamation.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
An unexpectedly touching documentary.
London Evening Standard
Charlotte O'Sullivan
Let's just say those looking for a fairy-tale ending won't find it, but what we do get feels like a pot of gold.
Irish Times
Donald Clarke
Gabriel Clarke and Pete Thomas have resisted all temptations to tread water with a charming film that bolsters the legend without giving in to hagiography.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
While football fans will have enjoyed raking over the coals of, say, Ireland v England at Euro 88, it was through bearing witness to a great man's decline that Finding Jack Charlton shredded the heartstrings.
Guardian
Stuart Jeffries
Clarke and Thomas could have made three poignant documentaries from the material they elegantly spliced together.
Sunday Times (UK)
Edward Porter
The contrast between the placid, dazed old man and the famously bullish character we see in the film's review of his football career is the guiding principle here, and it's sensitively handled.
HeyUGuys
Rich Phippen
An essential film, made with love for the man, his life and his enduring legacy.
Irish Independent
Pat Stacey
This is a celebration of a unique football man who did a unique service to this country. Thanks for the memories, Jack. We'll take care of them for you.
RTÉ (Ireland)
Harry Guerin
This is a story as much about family and frailty as it is about football.
Daily Express (UK)
Andy Lea
A rousing film about a life lived to the full.
The Digital Fix
Steven Sheehan
The documentary is a poignant trip down memory lane, recalling how a blunt Englishman was accepted by the Irish at the height of The Troubles.
Daily Mail (UK)
Brian Viner
[I]t's a superb piece of documentary filmmaking.
The Sun (UK)
Dulcie Pearce
But if you want to watch a sporting documentary that is about more than lifting trophies then seek out Finding Jack Charlton.
