Unicorn Town

This is a brilliant movie by Nick and his talented crew! Not only is this a film for football fans, but this is a real human story about people, the love of people and how embracing one another, going through tough times and working hard with positivity and determination to stand tall. By the end of the movie, not only will you love the story, you will have fallen in love with the cast, the town, the people of the town and the beautiful scenery! Great job Nick Alfieri and crew!

Disclaimer: I'm a long time watcher and fan of the director's vlog series on YouTube and thus a bit biased - my impressions should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.

I think I can nonetheless say that this is a great documentary that works on several levels and achieves many goals all at once.

It is a personal story of discovery. It's an inspiring underdog story and it's a monument to a person, who achieved greatness through passion and hard work.

While there is nothing new or groundbreaking to see here as far as it comes to sports documentaries, it shines (mostly) in execution and heart - and there is a lot of heart to be found, on screen and behind the screen.

And without spoiling too much - the last act is one of the more exciting things I've seen in recent times, even though I knew the outcome beforehand. It's an achievment in itself to ehm... achieve that.

Sometimes it's just life that tells the best stories.

My wife and I watched the movie and loved it!

Sigi is a true hero and giant...absolutely wonderful Nick!

A #1 top ten! (Is that a thing?)

Evidently NA has some pull with the IC, given some of the names, resources, assets, drawn together in the back office of the effort. Pretty decently compiled from home spun footage, from what I can tell, and official club and league footage, as documented in the trailing credits. Told a pretty decent, rich story, front, middle and rear. Teased you with a bittersweet pill to swallow, but did not leave you there in the end. But to be fair, if you look up the SHU, they have been strong contenders, not taking that away from them whatsoever, but the NY Lions have also been there as their northern arch rivals. Both pretty strong teams in their own rite. Worth the watch? Sure, I did not mind it.

This story is compelling and masterfully presented! Regardless of whether you are a sports fan, you will love this story of triumph over adversity. You never lose sight that the central character is the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns while being engrossed in the individual journeys of the people who make up the Unicorn family. Well done!
