From director John-Paul Davidson comes an inspiring sports biopic about the late, great golfing legend, Seve Ballesteros. Seve the Movie chronicles the fascinating and true account about how a young country boy from Spain grew up to become celebrated as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Throughout the film, director John- Paul Davidson beautifully intertwines real footage from Seve's personal life and career with reenacted scenes from his childhood to give viewers a full and complete look at not just Seve the golfer, but Seve the man. By the middle of the film, I realized that Seve's story was much more than just a "rags to riches" sports narrative. His story is about passion, determination, and following his dreams. Seve Ballesteros had the heart and mind of a champion, and his legacy deserves to be preserved through amazing works like this film. Seve the Movie is not just for golfers or sports fans, it's for anyone looking to feel inspired and uplifted. If you haven't seen it yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. http://bit.ly/1WBE1yk

Great Movie
Seve the Movie is a smart and unconventional biopic
Seve the Movie is a smart and unconventional biopic that is as every bit entertaining as it is informative. Director John-Paul Davidson's fourth feature is centered on Seve Ballesteros, who shines throughout his pre-teens to adulthood as Spain's finest golfer. Newcomer José Luis Gutiérrez does an exceptional job portraying young Seve as he faces odds at home, school, and his caddy job at the golf course his brother works at. Throughout the film, there are cuts to documentary footage that make it clear Seve accomplishes his aspiration to be a pro-golfer. Despite knowing the outcome of Seve's career, the film does a great job keeping the audience's attention and emotions invested in young Seve. Furthermore, the cinematography fully realizes the setting of 1970s Spain. Seve the Movie tells Seve Ballesteros' life story in a way that is engaging and inspiring.
For whom the golf is not just a sport.
I don't know the history of golf because I'm not a regular follower of
the game other than knowing a few names from this generation. So
Severiano Ballesteros is an unheard name to me until I saw this
beautiful film. I'm glad I saw it for the many reasons like that.
All the films are not for just entertainment, some are the great
historical account that makes it reach in a wider distance like this
one. Every sports produced its own legends, and so this film is focused
on golf. One of the best sport-drama I have ever seen and an important
film based on the golf, specially dedicated to Seve fans.
An English-Spanish language film produced with the collaboration of
Britain-Spain. It sets in a small coastal town of the northern Spain in
the year 1967 where the 10 year old Seve introduced to us. Being born
in a hardworking farmer family and after losing interest in the
studies, how he develops a passion towards the golf is what the film
portraits. At the young age he begins to think of the game of all the
time and it becomes his life. With the support from his family and
trained himself in the harsh conditions make him turn into one of the
gifted golfer in the history.
This is one of the strangest screen presentations I have seen. It is
nothing visual spectacular, or if you expect it to be a film that
recreates his whole life, then you might end in a disappointment.
Because it was a mix of the feature film as well as the documentary.
His childhood days before he becomes a pro was awesomely cinematised
and the rest was the archive footages from all the tournament he had
competed.
"The one with biggest heart will win."
That's the part anybody must not miss it because some of the greatest
shots he ever played and when he teed off a bad shot, how he came back
to the game was so inspiring. His spellbinding techniques and as a
humble human being, anyone who does not know would to begin to like him
like I did. The blend in narration between the real videos and actors
performed were amazing. A perfect screen exhibition for a great
sporting personality.
Coming from an economically poor family did not stop him to pursue his
dream. Everyone goes through a struggle while chasing such dream, and
so Seve did despite very talented. It was a long journey that covered
most of his life. With the interview clippings attached to it, lets us
know his many unknown qualities of his family, friends, former
teammates and opponents recalling their memories. Including some of his
old interviews where he reveals how much he loved the game.
It was not your usual biographical-sport film, but surely a must see.
Very cleverly written screenplay and obviously wonderful editing.
Especially if you're a Severiano Ballesteros' fan, you'll definitely
love to see him in the film. This is how you showcase a legend on the
screen if making money from the product is not an agenda, but letting
the world who is Severiano Ballesteros.
Actually, it was directed by a documentary filmmaker, so he excelled
it. But the sad part is the film did not reach a wider audience or even
the golf fans as it should have been. Mainly because the film did not
see the worldwide release, but it is available in the digital format.
So I hope my review made you a curious about it and I once gain hope
you would recommend it to your friends.
