One of those rare films so unfathomably ghastly you could write a better one while sitting through its interminable 110 minutes.

All that cash flowing into Fifa's coffers, and they spent it on this tripe?

Even without the cloud of the recent disturbing developments, United Passions is a cringeworthy, self-aggrandizing affair that mainly benefits from its unintentional camp value.

...a cinematic own goal of epic proportions…an expensive advert for a questionable football body trying to portray itself in an unlikely but positive light…pure cinematic, corporate gibberish..

Rated: 1/5

This movie is banally evil. A waste of tens of millions of dollars so a group of terrible people could portray themselves in the best light possible.

Utterly bizarre and heroically dull.

This might be the most cringeworthy in history. Mystery Science Theater 3000 needs to cover this.

absolutely insane! Ahead of its time in every cinematographic way, hated on by critics without any possible reason whatsoever, but totally deserves some fame, because of the incredible amount of work put into writing the script, which can be seen in EVERY scene of the movie.

Genuinely feels more of a biased propaganda rather than full research includes outer perspectives than just those within who views differently just to save face, therefore damaging the story's credibility for a fact-based drama labeled as unaccountable irrelevance whilst further exposed under bad timing. Aside from the heat, the insipidly bland deliverance is apparently uninspired and transitionally ill-conceived to the point of going against the cast's efforts under pretentious sophistication with a message that means well but diminished and questioned. (C-)

Esta bomba de taquilla financiada en su mayoría por la FIFA que tuvo un estreno mundial trágico por consecuencia de la corrupción de esta, es por sus propios méritos un desastre. Está repleta de montajes que se sienten innecesarios y muy aburridos, y que no están muy bien filmados o editados, con una extraña dependencia de la foto transparente que resulta estúpida. La actuación tristemente también se queda a medias, acompañada de monólogos y representaciones deprimentes de los presidentes de la FIFA. "United Passions" (2014) es realmente confusa, y no hay manera de ser paciente con una película cuya narración pasa de un año a otro en el lapso de 10 minutos, además de que por algún motivo, presenta una contraparte donde varios niños y una niña juegan futbol, lo cual no encuentro muy llenador ¿Quién dirige una película así? Una descarada propaganda empresarial disfrazada de drama histórico, "United Passions" (2014) es un partido que no vale la pena ver ya que no hace ningún gol. Como dijo The Guardian: excremento cinematográfico.

That movie should win a razzie and be on an episode of rifftracks.
