I don't much care for golf, but I love biopics and remembered Seve fondly even though I knew little of his life, and certainly childhood. I've never quite seen anything like this film, however, which resets the bar for docu-drama with what appears a faithful reworking of Seve's story, told through the eyes of formative years and engaging archive footage. The latter is amusing, informative and fascinating, the former is beautifully shot, sweet and life-affirming. This must've been an editing nightmare but the balance really works, setting up the real payoff: an in overwhelming final 30 mins. Top marks for editing, ingenuity and emotive film-making.
