A fairly decent and intriguing movie.

The film makes you empathize with the main actor, whose role is fully revealed to the viewer.

If you're looking for a movie about a dreamer and his incredibly difficult journey to achieve his goal-plus with a football theme-then this film is definitely worth watching.

The lead actor is outstanding here, delivering a great performance. As for the others, I won't say anything bad or good.

As for flaws, I can point out the low budget, which in turn affected the cinematography. Nowadays, audiences are more demanding and expect not just a good plot but also high-quality visuals. Then again, maybe this kind of filming was intentionally chosen to match the film's style...

Finally, I'll say that the fairytale-like ending turned out to be extremely unrealistic, though it does create some motivation.

A solid **6/10**.
