Movie Reviews

Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by David GrittenCertainly the story's climax in Buenos Aires is unexpected, yet many scenes resemble staged reality TV moments: group hugs, tears, mumbled monologues about overcoming obstacles.
Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Rich PhippenThat passion does become apparent in the movie's surprisingly touching climax. How much input the production team had in the outcome is hard to say, but when the tears start rolling down Woody's cheeks, it's obvious that this was the Freestylers' jo
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Ed AndrewsAn absolute pleasure from beginning to end.
BBC.com - 8/10 by Laura BushellLest we think that all youths in sportswear are out to mug us, energetic documentary In the Hands of the Gods shows there are at least five British boys in hoodies who've got something positive to do.
Total Film - 8/10 by Tom DawsonEntertaining and affecting, this takes its subjects out of their comfort zone and onto a journey of self-discovery. Stirring soccer skills are matched by absorbing action off the ball.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Wendy IdeIf ever there was a film that celebrated the joy of existence, the heady thrill of scaling a seemingly insurmountable challenge, it's this shambling documentary.
Shadows on the Wall - 7/10 by Rich ClineEngaging narrative documentary follows five football freestylers busking their way from Britain to Argentina
Film4 - 7/10 by Leigh SingerA thoroughly entertaining if necessarily condensed road trip that you don't have to be a football - or Maradona - fan to enjoy.
ViewLondon - 6/10 by Matthew TurnerEntertaining, likeable and surprisingly moving documentary with engaging characters and some astute observations about obsession, friendship and the pursuit of fame.
Time Out - 3/10 by David JenkinsThe film's teary-eyed conclusion is clearly intended to have you punching the air in elation, but the message it delivers will actually leave you feeling quite cold.
