Steve Greene indieWire By focusing on what binds those on the pitch and those in the bleachers, Nossa Chape doesn't just wonder if some things are "bigger than the game" -- it proves it. Rated: A- Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader An extraordinary sports documentary and a compelling human-interest story, this documentary follows the rising Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense after the November 2016 plane crash that killed 19 players and the entire staff. Jun 21, 2018 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle The Zimbalists... have made another highly accomplished soccer-related documentary (they also made the 2016 film "Pele: Birth of a Legend"). Rated: 4/4 Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry Nossa Chape is a beautiful elegy to the departed and an ode to the strength of those who survived. Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue The poignancy in this documentary comes from seeing the faces and hearing the voices of those affected by a tragedy that made worldwide headlines. Jun 2, 2018 Full Review André Hereford Film Journal International Fox Sports presents a taut and moving tale of a soccer team struck by disaster and the town determined to see them make a comeback.

Audience Member Documentário que dói na alma, tantos sonhos despedaçados, não só dos atletas e demais passageiros, mas de seus familiares e amigos… Umas cenas fortes, e que aquecem o coração, o abraço (da mãe de uma das vítimas) no jornalista, a homenagem do time Boliviano e ao abrir mão do título, coisa mais linda, chorei horrores… De uma sensibilidade incrível, super emocionante… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review dave d This is an inspiring and frightful tale of the Chapecoense soccer club from Brazil who rose from the depths of low level Brazilian soccer to the top of the country. You don't have to understand how the soccer works to be touched in many ways by the highs and lows of Chapecoense. The journey may be short, but it's worthwhile and uplifting and available for Americans thanks to Fox Sports. Final Score: 8.0/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great capture of the history behind the headline and the emotion of all the occurred before and after the tragedy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a powerful documentary on the tragedy of the Chapecoense soccer team. Seventy-one players, administrators, staff, journalists and air crew members were killed in a plane crash carrying the team to a championship game in Columbia. This documentary addresses the impact of that loss on the families, the community, the team and the survivors. Ultimately the greatest lesson learned is the value of team chemistry. The Chapecoense team lost in the plane crash was a tight knit group more family than team. That encompassed their families as well. In the rebuilding process that family atmosphere was lost for a while and only after recognition the family spirit was critical to true success were they truly able to cope and move forward as a community, a team and a family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotional movie, that is not only for soccer fans. It shows the tragic events that a small team, young player and relatively new team, that evolved as a family and that was decimated by a tragic airline disaster. But shows the aftershock of the accident for the team but also to families of the players. Amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
