Gerardo C Lovely film that plays around sensible subjects yet does it in the brightest manner. One can feel the love people put in this film and cheers for the characters like a football fan. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Panahi's guerilla filmmaking (during an actual football match no less) occasionally borders on documentary and gives "Offside" its authenticity, but also deprives it of a more cinematic quality. The importance of the message goes without saying, and it's underlined even further by the gradual change in the soldiers' stance. However, despite a few stand-out moments, the directorial style (or absence thereof), scant script and amateur acting are definitely limiting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost a documentary, the movie is more important by its social issues than for its cinematographical values. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a great movie, lots of holes throughout the plot. Extremely misleading and various pointless scenes in which had no relevance to the movie what so ever. Critics who gave this a 94% shouldn't be reviewing movies Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review filippo v Con una grande abilità nel mantenere sullo stesso piano tutti i personaggi, questo film iraniano riesce a comunicare il messaggio con grande trasparenza e realismo. Anche se avrei preferito dei mezzi più intelligenti e meno diretti, l'anima che sta alla base del film è totalmente apprezzabile. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Director Jafar Panahi walks the line between fact and fiction with such skill that it is difficult to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. With Offside, he has made a film that is both a disparaging critique of the ban that prevents Iranian women from attending men's sporting events and therefore participating actively in national pride and a celebration of the women who dare to attend anyways. With parts of the film shot during an actual World Cup qualifying match, Offside feels like a documentary, even as the action that unfolds has to have been staged. You feel every moment with the women who have been caught sneaking into the game as they desperately try to catch glimpses of the match. It is amazing to watch their pride for their country, and their determination to show their nationalism, even as their country tries to prevent their participation.
