I was very curious about this movie, even if I am not a fan of the football game. The trailer hooked me immediately. The film tells the story of Bert Trautmann perfectly, but if you want the most honest version of his life, I strongly recommend to read at least the Wikipedia page. This is still a movie, so there is fiction.
The movie is slow paced. I would have personally cut some scenes about the love story between Bert and Margaret. It took too much time on screen and most of these sequences are fillers, made mainly to hit the 2 hours length. Especially during the ending there are definitely too many details that are useless for the purpose of the story. On a side note, the movie does not represent the 40s and the 50s society in a truthful way, but honestly I can pass on that because it is not about the context of those years, but about a public figure.
"Trautmann" is a decent movie about the life of the first foreign football player in Manchester City team, but do not expect an extremely accurate recreation of events. I have to tell that, from a technical perspective I was surprised, especially when it came for football matches scenes that seem real. Acting is also good, there is a nice chemistry between different actors. The two leads are very convincing in their performances.
