Every once in a while a film comes along that is surprising from every angle. From the point of view of the direction, acting – and above all the storytelling – Offside is one such film. Indeed, in this touching and engaging romantic comedy, writer-director Joffre Faria Silva brings us a gem of a picture that sparkles with emotional insight.
Set in a fictional town in the Brazilian countryside, Offside follows the lives of the soccer obsessed, single dad José Carlos - his conflicted teenage son Eduardo - and a newcomer to town in the form of a very smart, attractive yet troubled woman named Lourdes Cintra. The characters' lives, hopes and dreams unfold through a series of real and imagined events that resonate with a universal truth.
In life we all have regrets, we all make mistakes, but the drawbacks don't necessarily define or limit us if we are honest with ourselves and open to the prospect of love. In this context, the film's title is most appropriate. Offside, which as a soccer term translates in Portuguese to "impedimento" - from the verb "to impede" – becomes a compelling metaphor for psychological paralysis. In the end, this poignant viewing experience illustrates a wonderful and effective cure for the malady.

I have just seen this movie at the Toronto International Film Festival. What a beauty! Everything works in this Brazilian movie. Script, Direction, Cinematography, Acting, the incredible score, just to name a few. The lives of the young women in the outskirts of São Paulo are depicted with captivating and breathtaking images along with outstanding performances. This is the kind of movie you leave the theatre with a sense of how powerful film-making can be. I went to see this movie without any knowledge of what the plot was going to be. From the very first frame I was brought into the lives of the main characters and couldn't let them go even after the credits had stopped rolling. Tata Amaral has certainly placed herself on the A-list of Brazilian movie makers.
