| User ReviewRebecca RI fell asleep with my little ones tonight at 8:00 and awoke at 12:30a.m. knowing that my eyes were not going to close again for awhile. So, I decided to scan my Instant Queue on Netflix. SO glad I found Pelada! What a unique way to show "football" at its roots, played in many styles and levels. Soccer has come back into my life now that my kiddos are signed up for the Spring season. I have always had a strong love for the game, but have never paid close attention to world teams, leagues or players. Pelada portrays the essence of the game...where it begins for so many, in countries across the globe. The camaraderie that comes with playing is something that is shown in the film to, at times, hurdle religious and/or ethnic barriers, and to allow people laughter, smiles and hugs regardless of the daily struggles they face. Everyone who enjoys ball play should view this documentary! |
| User ReviewDavid TAnyone who is passionate about the sport will appreciate the message that Paleda has to offer. Soccer is a universal language. |
| User ReviewKim BWent to see this in Cinebarre Mountlake Terrace yesterday and it was definitely worth it. Somewhat lower-budget documentary about an American couple, football (a.k.a. soccer) mad and skillful, travelling the world, looking for ... well, pickup games (i.e. "pelada"). Pelada is the "real" football; played by everyone, everywhere, somehow. Some great little stories, some lovely skills, and some interesting people. Out on DVD already, well worth it if you have a bit of interest in football. |
| User ReviewGeoff KThis is a fun, interesting, endearing movie and it's especially enjoyable if you're interested in soccer / football. |
