The Beautiful Game

We’re actually not that far away from a summer of international football, and audiences are clearly also getting excited.The Beautiful Game, the newNetflixoriginal movie about the Homeless World Cup is (at the time of writing) the second most popular film on the platform. But if you want another feel-good football comedy, then it’s only half-time.

Of course, as is the way with films like this, Rongen’s methods involve him coaching his players both on and off the pitch as he also adjusts to life far from home. It’s laced however with Waititi’s trademark deadpan humour. If you appreciate the tone of the likes ofWhat We Do in the ShadowsandThor: Ragnarokyou’ll be at home here.

If you check the Rotten Tomatoes scores of both films, there’s an interesting comparison betweenNext Goal WinsandThe Beautiful Game.Netflix’s film boasts a much higher critics score (87% to 45%) but audiences clearly love the American Samoa story as it boasts an impressive 84% audience score (compared toThe Beautiful Game’s72%). There’s nothing wrong with being a crowdpleaser and as an underdog story with a whole lot of heart, it’s hard not to enjoyNext Goal Wins.

If you want to make it a hattrick of football fun, why not hunt down the originalNext Goal Winsdocumentary? It has a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
