The first must-see film of the year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This award winning series has now been a winner on the "NFL Network" for many seasons as the stories and profiles of league moments and players are interesting and informative really it's a historical football show that a viewer can learn things. Also the series shows the finer moments from each profile's playing days thru the early playing days to retirement often highlighting the high and low points. Plus interviews with each subject and those surrounding him are given and the moments of life good and bad are showcased. Really what more can I say this is a football fan's dream it's a joy to watch with the informative information combined with award winning footage from "NFL Films". It's always a journey pleasure to watch every football season on "NFL Network".

WHEN RECORDING STARS reach a certain point in their careers, they usually cut a "Best Of" album. Likewise, when an outstanding player, coach or even player/coach has finished his career in the game and on the sidelines or has "cashed in his chips", an appropriate installment of A FOOTBALL LIFE is the order of the day.THE SERIES IS long overdue as a reality and historical record of what went before "I" discovered the game and why things are the way that they are. Whatever the field of endeavor and interest, they did not begin when the current generation became aware of them. History is the order of the day and it is all embracing; covering all that is the culture of mankind.WHAT WE WOULD like to see is a program dedicated to and featuring the exploits and contributions of NFL Films founder, Ed Sabol (1916-2015) and his son, Steve Sabol(1942-2012); who had served as President of the company until his premature death.BOTH THE SENIOR Sabol and the son had very interesting and varied life experiences. Ed was an outstanding swimmer at Ohio State University (refusing to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Nazi Germany), a Broadway Stage Actor and a member of the RITZ BROTHERS Comedy Act; before founding what would later become NFL Films.ASS FOR SON, Steve, he had a most eclectic collection of interests and activities. He played Fullback at Colorado College, was a successful competitive bodybuilder, having won the AAU Greater Mr. Philadelphia contest (as a neophyte), loved motorcycles, super hero comics, was a photographer, narrator, writer and artist on NFL Film Productions; which he won 35 Emmy Awards. AND FINALLY, AS the great man once said:"History is much more than a book that you keep the shelf!" (NOW GUESS WHAT, Schultz; that "Great Man" is me.)
