British Comedy Guide, 28th February 2020United We Fall Home Entertainment Review
United We Fall has come out of nowhere to be an underrated British comedy gem. A mockumentary following five fictitious Manchester United players as they reminisce on their failed 2010 attempt at winning the treble, it's very clearly triple threat writer/director/producer Gary Sinyor's love letter to the beautiful game - and the affection is mainly spelt out with constant jabs at the vain, arrogant, dishonest, overpaid players.
Dan Woburn, Close-Up Film, 9th February 2015Film Review: United We Fall
It's not the hair-dryer treatment, it's "the hair-straightener treatment". This new film by director Gary Sinyor takes a look at the beautiful game in all its wacky glory.
