Rebecca Mead The New Yorker 10/27/2023
A new four-part documentary on Netflix offers viewers a fascinating if flatteringly partial look inside a British celebrity match made in heaven. Go to Full Review Nicholas Quah New York Magazine/Vulture 10/17/2023
It’s too neat to feel honest about the complicated life we watched play out across four hours. Stevens may find flashes of real emotion staring into Beckham’s face, but that’s as far as he’s allowed to go. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 10/10/2023
Beckham is surprisingly excellent. Go to Full Review Alex Casey The Spinoff 01/09/2025
Despite moments of haziness, Beckham remains an extremely entertaining and engrossing portrait of both one of the famous footballers of all time Go to Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 02/05/2024
But for the rest of us – football fans or not – who can recite the beats of Becks’ career and marriage by heart, there will be a nagging sense that this brashly obvious series barely scratches the surface of received myth and authorized story. Go to Full Review Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) 11/09/2023
4/5
Given rare access to the couple, director Fisher Stevens has put together a mostly hagiographic portrait of the man. But it is still humanising and, for fans of a certain era of pop culture, immensely nostalgic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sandy R. @sdreynolds65 Oct 18 So awesome. Live these two! Very authentic! Down to earth couple willing to be real and put it out there. See more Shaun R @Shaun666 02/15/2025 How boring is David Beckham to listen to? The levels of how under the thumb he is sickens me. I love football and love a good documentary but apart from being good a set pieces, listening to him confirmed that he’s simply not very interesting. See more Svitlana K 08/16/2024 Excellent documentary! Must to see! See more Gianmarco D 02/01/2024 Beckham is surprisingly excellent. See more Todd B 12/27/2023 Excellent series. Beckham and Victoria are shown to be very different than their past media personas. The documentary strips away all the fame of not only Beckham, but also the football greats, and shows what ordinary and likable people they are. Very entertaining. See more Cathleen H 12/24/2023 This is a must-see. I do not follow soccer and know very few names of the game, David Beckham is one of them. I enjoyed this documentary about his career and how it intertwined with his private life. I admire his perseverance and grit, and how devoted he his to his family. See more Read all reviews
