Given how recently women’s sport was being dismissed – even among the most progressive of media outlets – as dull, substandard and irrelevant, the trajectory that Anstiss’s film charts is a feelgood one.
Director Sue Anstiss knows her subject intimately – she has an MBE for her work promoting sport among women and girls – and it’s her clear-eyed perspective on the long-haul, third-class journey towards gender equality that puts a catch in your throat.
The first cinematic history of women’s sport, Game On eschews individual moments of glory (although it does contain some inspiring montages of England’s Red Roses, and their buildup campaign to the 2022 rugby union World Cup).
