‘Zizou the Great’ (2009?) a footballer film with no football

Condolences to you if you subscribed to Peacock or Apple TV just to watch Zizou the Great: The Zinedine Zidane Story, an unauthorized Australian documentary about one of the greatest French players.

The Match (2020) is a very low-budget Victory (1981) where no one tries to escape and every player dies. But the performances are excellent. If you just want to fill your soccer movie bucket list, you could do worse. #amazonprime #footballfilm #soccermovie

‘The Match’ (2020) may have missed its goal

The #SeAcabo documentary is a heroic poem where an entire team of women believed in themselves and united together to create, in today's vernacular, a superpower. On netflix. #soccermovie #footballfilm

‘#SeAcabó’ (2024) is a diary of champions

Whether you remember this Netflix documentary as #SeAcabó: Diario de las campeonas or as the English title It’s All Over: The kiss that changed Spanish football, you should remember one thing.

An Invisible Victim - The Eliza Samudio Case (2024) is a frustrating story to watch because there are no good endings and there is no justice. On Netflix. #soccermovie #footballfilm

While I don't think I can stomach watching this film again, I really enjoyed the Argentine thriller Punto Rojo (2021) from Nic Loreti. As he says, Punto Rojo breathes cinema. #soccermovie #footballfilm #soccer

‘Punto Rojo’ (2021) breathes cinema
