The Manageress Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
tgtround Cheri Lunghi excels in a custom-written part as the first woman in Britain to ever become manager (head coach) of a professional soccer team. The part makes excellent use of Lunghi's own part-Italian heritage and she gives a classy, 100% committed performance on the field and off.The plot covers all aspects of the life of a football club from corruption, professional sleaze,personal sleaze, cover-ups and more but there are some excellent moments of humour. Many of these aspects are still very much with us now.There are also great supporting performances from Warren Clarke as the wheeler-dealer chairman of the club and the ever-reliable Tom Georgeson as the coach denied his shot at big-time management by the arrival of the unprecedented newcomer.
