Leave your thoughts about Kicking It.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA tearjerker certain to elicit concern and compassion from anyone watching for the billion on the planet's homeless. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansMore inspirational than any sports movie, because the impact of a simple game on the confidence and self-worth of these battered men is all real. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyEarnest and inspirational sports docu narrated by Colin Farrell |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinRarely has the healing power of sports been as genuinely depicted as in director Susan Koch's perception-altering documentary Kicking It. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonResults are somewhat inspiring, but equally predictable. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisIt's hard to imagine how Koch could have made her film any more heavy-handed: perhaps by adding U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" to the soundtrack or having the narration delivered by Colin Farrell-both of which, inevitably enough, the director does. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterKicking It illustrates the transformative power of sports. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierA well-meaning look at the Homeless World Cup, Kicking It presents its topic without much sentimentality, though it could benefit from a more pared-down approach. |
| User ReviewStacey Mthis movie is awesome, really well put together. makes you appreciate your life and what you have! |
| User ReviewPrivate UFootball is loved by millions around the world for more than being a sport. I watched how football showed its impact as a way for the downtrodden in society to better themselves, if only for a fleeting time. The personal stories are simultaneously heartwarming and heartwrenching to keep up with through this documentary. This isn't so much of a football movie as it is a movie that just happens to include football as a plot element. |
