John Doyle

Globe and Mail

There will never be a player with the same aura, and the film acts a perfect reintroduction (even for non-soccer fans) to the cauldron and complexity of European soccer.

Even the soccer is perfunctory.

Fans and non-fans alike might expect more closure (and redemption) to the scattered story arc.

Rated: 3/5

Para los que ya conocemos la historia de Roberto Baggio como que le falta algo porque podría haber sido mucho mejor, igual no deja de ser un buen film en general.

The movie is clearly low budget but the balance in the narration is remarkable, as long as the sensibility of the director. The casting and actors performances are really interesting. If you are into soccer you need to see this movie.

Racconto biografico e molto intimo di uno dei personaggi sportivi italiani più amati di sempre. Si sceglie di concentrarsi totalmente sugli aspetti che hanno caratterizzato la vita del campione fuori dal campo; dal rapporto col padre a quello con gli allenatori, dalla nazionale agli infortuni. Purtroppo viene meno totalmente il racconto della sua carriera; di cui a parte brevissimi tratti non viene raccontato nulla. A mio avviso un peccato mortale visto il tipo di personaggio.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Heartfelt film about one of the most impressive and inspiring soccer players of my lifetime! Loved the human dynamics throughout, and the beautiful way the film expressed Baggio's family and religious relationships.
