Seve The Movie
Seve combined dramatic recreations with electrifying archive footage to tell his incredible rags to rich story. From his childhood on the beaches of Spain - where he was 6 he taught himself the game with a broken 3 iron strapped to a stick - to becoming the number one greatest golfer of a generation. Whether he could do it or not?

An uneasy rose-tinted blending of striking documentary footage and plodding soap-opera style re-enactment ...

Seve is for dedicated golf fans only, but there is some charm to this drama-documentary on the rise of Severiano Ballesteros from Spanish farmer's boy to world-class golfer.
