Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Though almost entirely devoid of facts and figures, the film represents the best kind of cinematic journalism - more like a live-action painting than an ESPN special. Apr 8, 2016 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A happy marriage of rudimentary conditions and highly sophisticated filmmaking, Eryk Rocha's passionate documentary "Sunday Ball" dives into an amateur soccer game in the Brazilian slums and barely comes up for air. Dec 10, 2015 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety Stunningly shot and marvelously edited to capture the rhythms of the game, the pic transcends its subject much in the way Roger Angell's essays on baseball offer rare pleasures even to those uninterested in the game. Dec 9, 2015 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Everything in this film draws undue attention to itself [...] when all we want to do is just watch a game and try to become immersed.
