There’s something special about watching a documentary that lets you see behind the glamour. Netflix’s Beckham does exactly that. We all know David Beckham — the football legend, fashion icon, and husband to the one and only Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham. But this documentary takes us past the headlines and paparazzi flashes, into the world of a man who had to grow up in public under the weight of impossible expectations.

From his early days at Manchester United to that unforgettable red card in the 1998 World Cup, Beckham’s story is one of resilience. When the entire country blamed him for England’s loss, he went from hero to villain overnight. It’s hard to imagine what that level of public hatred must feel like — but the documentary captures it perfectly. You can see it in his eyes, in his silence.

Then comes redemption. Beckham kept his head down, worked harder, and returned stronger. Watching his bond with Victoria unfold is surprisingly emotional — not a fairytale, but two people trying to make love work in a world that wanted to tear them apart. Victoria’s candidness adds so much depth; she doesn’t hold back about how brutal fame can be.

What I loved most is how Beckham balances glory with humanity. We see his fashion ventures, his quiet struggles, his passion for football, and that humble side that fame never erased. Whether you’re a fan of the sport or not, this documentary makes you admire the man behind the legend — not for his fame, but for his fight.

When it ended, I felt proud of him, like watching someone who fell hard but never gave up. Beckham isn’t just about football — it’s about focus, family, and forgiveness.

honesty. It doesn’t just glorify success; it shows the price of it. You see a young man who wanted nothing more than to play football, slowly becoming a global brand — whether he liked it or not. There are quiet moments where he admits how fame nearly broke him, and yet, you can still sense that childlike love for the game in his eyes. The pressure, the headlines, the endless cameras — none of it could take away his joy when his boots touched the ball. That’s what makes David Beckham different. Beneath the fame, he’s still that boy from East London chasing his dream with heart and humility.
