Movie Reviews

Paste Magazine - 6/10 by Travis M. AndrewsThere is a fantastic documentary within This Is Not a Ball, begging to burst onto the screen. As a result, the film is worth it for the touching moments, though more fully realized explorations on poverty and the means of escape it already exist.
Variety - 5/10 by Andrew BarkerMuniz uncovers a raft of intriguing people and stories, with subjects ranging from sports to astrophysics, gender politics, history and developmental psychology, but he never sits still with them long enough to ask any probing questions, and the film never arrives at any real point.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Martin TsaiThe film is certainly interesting, despite the fact that it's a glorified promotional video for Muniz's installations.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Nicole HerringtonThe journey, an exploration of the passion for soccer that evolves into a history of the ball (a sort of film version of the anthropologist John Fox’s 2012 book, “The Ball”), is somewhat illuminating, often indulgent and never wholly satisfying.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckThere’s certainly an interesting documentary to be made about soccer, the world’s most popular sport by far, but This Is Not a Ball isn’t it.
