“A feel-good, crowd-pleasing triumph that deserves to find the widest possible audience, this terrific underdog tale based on the astonishing sporting exploits of Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards has that touch of The Full Monty/Billy Elliot Brit-crafted magic, with dashes of Ealing comedy thrown in.
Combined with a star-making turn from Taron Egerton, as the Cheltenham plasterer’s son, and adroit direction by Dexter Fletcher, the undeniable power and emotional richness of the entire endeavour makes for a captivating success.”
Based on the 1980s real life story of Britain’s hopeless but courageous ski-jumper and with a superb performance from Taron Egerton in the lead.
