Leave your thoughts about Mario.
| Movie NationRoger MooreSlow-moving gay soccer romance that covers familiar ground within its novel sports setting. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineAlthough it feels rather overlong, it's packed with powerful moments. |
| TheArtsStlSarah Boslaugh...captures the pressures put on young athletes to conform and avoid anything that might hurt their chances to advance... |
| Film InquiryLee JuttonMario tackles the stigma of being a gay man in professional soccer with remarkable realism and heart, with what could have been excessively melodramatic or exploitative. |
| GuardianCath ClarkeAt two hours, the film feels a little long, but this is a heartfelt and human drama with the texture of truth and characters to care about. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherA committed central performance and a controversial subject...mostly left unexplored in cinema, as it is in life, are the two main reasons to see this earnest, if slightly overlong melodrama. |
| ArtsATLSteve MurrayA smart, sexy and heartbreaking drama that reminds us that coming out is very different for everyone. |
| Film InquiryLaura BirnbaumThe tender romance at the center of the film is driven in large part by Hubacher, who shows a great deal of emotional brevity from start to finish. |
| Independent (UK)Josh WitheyMario touches on these fears perfectly, not just for the main characters, but the entire ensemble. Uncertainness is universal, along with the pursuit of happiness. |
| San Francisco Bay TimesGary M. KramerThis absorbing film sneaks up on viewers and packs an emotional wallop. |
