Throughout the film, easy narrative choices are resisted for the unexpected and more effective.

3/5

It conjures a rather contrived denouement that’s a little bit glib, but features a strong performance from Dias as Sofía.

A punchy, confrontational energy infuses this celebration of queer sisterhood in the face of Brazilian conservatism.

4/5

It looks and sounds fantastic, popping from the screen with a sanguine brightness that’s symptomatic of an unjaded ingénue director. Halla’s voice is razor sharp, crafting a sports movie that’s more moral parable than anything to do with volleyball.

Heartfelt, but unfocused, overstuffed and undercooked.

7.5/10

Although it has moments of digression, its point is solid through the acting skills of Ayomi Domenica Dias, whose character Sofia is defiant and a protagonist worth knowing.
