Mario

Very topical story of gay footballers (in the closet). Quite a gentle film rather than hard hitting. Beautiful cast, beautiful locations - are there no ordinary looking gay guys/footballers?!

One very simulated very shortsex scene (you really see nothing) doesn't warrant an 18 certificate which is really disappointing and cuts off an important potential younger audience from this film.

Bit of a cliched ending in my book - have seen this type of ending many times but as I said its not a hard hitting film.

Worth watching just because there has been nothing like this out there before around football

This film tells the story of two up and coming professional football players falling in love.

I loved this film because it tells a sweet romance, and also a very tough choice. The choice is very real because homophobia in professional sports is a well known phenomenon. Yet, it is a topic that is rarely touched upon in films. The actor playing Mario is a very good actor, because he displays emotions through his eyes, face and body. He convincingly tells his pain without the need for any words. "Mario" is an effective film that brings me to feel his joy and pain. I definitely recommend this film.

I so recommend this movie for anyone who craves good romance in films these days! Acting is great, the films is so engaging exciting but chill. I enjoed EVERY BIT, and felt all of the emotions both of the main characters felt. Quick tip, be ready to be on a slow emotional rollercoaster, and have some tissues around! Enjoy!

Makes u think about things gay playerss are going through its a mix sadness sweetness just wow

The is one of the best gay films I've ever seen. As others have commented the acting is superb. So much is said by how the characters look at each other. The actors' character's actions and reactions to very real situations are so authentic, I had to remind myself I was watching a movie and not some witnessing some real-life drama. (I wish I knew these characters in real life.) If you're someone who loves a good (gay) love story, if you love a love story that spans the emotional gamut, if you're a hopeless romantic or a bit jaded you'll want to see this movie.
