Next Goal Wins - Reviews

The movie uncovers the most potential with Uli Latukefu's Nicky Salapu, the team goalie who retired after the 31-0 loss...

...the ultimate underdog story, and exactly the kind of quirky material that Waititi has always gravitated towards, too: sweet, dry comedy that celebrates, and is defined by, Polynesian culture.

Michael Fassbender funnies it up in Taika Waititi’s football yarn.

...while Next Goal Wins’ formation might not be anything particularly innovative, more than enough shots land on target.

...an affable, slightly slapdash crowd-pleaser that relies on the considerable charm of its local cast.

...et muntert lille frikvarter.

...en solskenshistoria, så osannolikt gullig att regissören Taika Waititi valt att berätta den som en saga.
