      Kevin Maher Times (UK) A committed central performance and a controversial subject...mostly left unexplored in cinema, as it is in life, are the two main reasons to see this earnest, if slightly overlong melodrama. Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian At two hours, the film feels a little long, but this is a heartfelt and human drama with the texture of truth and characters to care about. Rated: 3/5 Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Hollywood Reporter Familiar but moving. May 31, 2018 Full Review Michael Cuby them. Though [it] still hits predictable topics — the closet, casual locker room homophobia, the threat of lost sponsorships should their secret emerge — it’s equally invested in developing its central love story, which is rare. Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens This is a great film about sexuality in football, and is a darned slight better than The Pass. Rated: 4/5 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Simultaneously serving as a touching romantic drama and a critical exploration of masculinity within football, Mario is a poignant work of contemporary cinema. Rated: 4/5 Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jeff M My goal to watch more foreign films this year brought me across this award-winning Swiss movie, about which I knew absolutely nothing but which turned out to be one of the best viewing surprises I've had in awhile. Even if you can't relate specifically to the topic at hand, I think all of us can relate to the joy, the pain, and sometimes the repercussions of falling in love. The acting by the leads feels heartbreakingly real, the sports world portrayed feels true to life, and the surrounding supporting characters feel very three-dimensional even with limited screen time. Highly recommended! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Terrance M Just not a good movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review trm0608 Fantastic film in my opinion. Touches base on a very important issue that exists in the world of sports. Some complain that the film is too long, but I'd disagree. However, it does toy with your emotions. You want so badly for things to play out one way, but they don't. It forces you to realize that the ending is a much more realistic outcome if you compare it to the real world. Great story telling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/22 Full Review Liam D It's an very engaging and moving romance with some great acting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/22 Full Review Florin F I expected more to be honest, I think more action would not have hurt. It was, but still two hours and too little action, I would say not at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/22 Full Review Mark W. Noonan Excellent film. But DAMMIT why do they always end with one in depression and misery. Mario achieves his dream. But sacrificed happiness to do it. I get why it had to end this way. But it STINGS LIKE HELL. Despite the ending, its worth the time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
