    The English Game

    ★★★★½

    Historical dramas often walk a fine line between accuracy and artistic storytelling, and The English Game (2020) is no exception. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, this six-part series charts the origins of modern football, weaving in themes of class struggle, professionalization, and the growing divide between the privileged and the working class.

Everyone pays attention to you and thinks you are fascinating, which is better than fun. Every single thing counts there. It's too shiny, bloodless, and rational for a movie about individuals living postmortem lives or being turned inside out. There isn't any mist, smear, frozen devils, split-level thinking, danger, demands, fallout, twisted humour, catastrophic forces, or genuine, consistent self-hatred.

    It's hollow and ultimately unsatisfying!

    A movie that takes itself way too seriously, has absolutely dull characters, a narrative that is monotonous and uninspired, this was my death to boredom. It has so many plot holes and the "breathtaking" ending seemed extremely arrogant. It was hurried, rambling and foolish. It was completely ridiculous!
