Critic Reviews for Shooting for Socrates
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (5)
The story's crying out for underdog grit.

An amusing portrayal of Jackie Fullerton.
Erskine has to strain painfully to accentuate the positive with glimpses of trans-sectarian unity and gassy humour centred on blokes' love of beer.

A film that all too often fumbles into its own net.

It's a fusion of talents and an idea of a story that ultimately don't work. A failed attempt at embracing failure.
A charming celebration of the beautiful game.
Audience Reviews for Shooting for Socrates
Exceedingly enjoyable with some great actors, most from Game of Thrones, tells the heroic tale of Northern Ireland's performance in the 1986 World Cup. Jackie Fullerton is the main tale but you cannot help but love the underdog vibe and bonus points for featuring Nottingham in the story too and many references to Nottingham Forest.
