One Chance

Paul Potts somehow kept eluding me, so I finally got to know the man who won the first season of "Britain's Got Talent". An interesting story, which was captured in a non-intrusive manner with overall good performances by the actors, for example Colm Meaney, who continues to prove that he is suited for smaller roles and can fully immerse himself in them. A beautiful and kind film, I liked it. (08/05/2014)

The ambition of this film is to make the audience root for an unlucky good guy who goes through some amusing mishaps only to finally manage to fulfil his dream and gain confidence. However, this is done without a single scene, character or any other creative filmmaking effort that would make you remember the film. The effect of the straightforward attack on your emotions will soon subside and leave you with no lasting impression. (18/02/2014)

I remember when Paul Potts was a fresh YouTube sensation; not only the video, but also his life story. So I’m not surprised that the British came up with these script orgies and filmed a biographical movie about him. Every interesting story deserves to be told. And if you like small town streets (in this case in Wales) and English humor, then you can expect Boychoir to be the right fit for you. (15/12/2016)
