Tom Dawson of '' Total Film '' thought " Erskine 's '' One Night In Turin '' argues that the endeavours of Bobby Robson 's players eased the memories of Heysel and Hillsborough , leading to a rebirth of the national game ... " Richard Luck of ''Film4.com '' said , " More compelling still is Erskine 's insistence that , as disappointing as defeat might have been , the way England played throughout Italia 90 went a long way towards soothing the nightmares of Heysel , Bradford and Hillsborough . It 's a well-constructed argument that points up the insignificance of victory and defeat in the greater scheme of things . " He added : " One night in Turin might have restored national pride but it pointed towards the selfishness that has since ruined the beautiful game . " Kevin Pocock of '' Den of Geek '' rated the film 2/5 and described is as " a well-constructed , finely narrated , re-stitching of that titular night in Turin , intriguing for those who did n't witness the events when they happened , and equally so for those who have n't mulled it to death since . " Robert Beames of '' What Culture '' thought " ... anyone with an interest in football history ( or even anyone nostalgic for Italia ’ 90 ) will find themselves engaged and excited by all this material . However , if you have no interest in football ( and have no memory of 1990 ) , then it would hard to you getting anything out of this documentary film . " Ronald Short of '' College Movie Review '' scored the film a D - and said , " For an indie film , it 's decent . I 'm sure the soccer fans will love it , but as for the rest of us ? It 's nothing really worth watching . " Mark Douglas of '' The Journal '' described it as " It is an unashamedly enjoyable hour and a half . " He added : " Perhaps the film might have been beefed up by a few talking heads slots , which would have given the main protagonists an opportunity to expand on their roles in this particular passion play . " Edward Porter of '' The Sunday Times '' said , " Like many an England performance , it 's the work of a team making the best of limited resources . Not only are there no interviews , but the footage of the game — and of all the other matches covered in the build-up — is patchy . " Peter Martin of '' Twitch Film '' thought " Much time and care was spent on the recreations , but they have an odd flavor , with the majority of them consisting of unnecessary inserts that stick out from the archival material like a series of sore thumbs . " He added : " Gary Oldman , who narrates , speaks in flat , even tones ... It 's a refreshing , realistic approach , but it 's undermined by the recreations . I wonder if all that time and effort would n't have been better served by integrating modern-day interviews providing historical perspective , such as the interview with author Pete Davies that 's included as one of the extras . " David Edwards of the '' Mirror.co.uk '' said , " '' One Night In Turin '' ... provides an entertaining look at how manager Bobby Robson became a national hero and Gazza 's tears made him a celebrity . Crucially , though , it fails to tell us anything we did n't already know . " Anthony Quinn of '' The Independent '' said thought " The director James Erskine catches something of the mood ( " Nessun Dorma " is in there too ) , but offers nothing in the way of perspective or second thoughts . " Philip French of '' The Observer '' said , " The film is strictly for nostalgists and students of visual and verbal clichés . " Phil of De Semlyen of '' Empire '' rated the film 2/5 and called it " Nostalgic viewing for fans that offers up too little by way of fresh insights . " Peter Bradshaw of '' The Guardian '' said , " As it is , '' One Night in Turin '' looks a bit like a DVD given away with a Sunday newspaper – but watchable , nevertheless . " Wendy Idle of '' The Times '' said , " All documentaries tend to nudge reality towards a slightly heightened sense of drama but this is like taking a shameless dive in the penalty area : a little undignified .
