Mário e Leon - No Amor e No Jogo

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.

Beautiful and tender film about the first love. It hurts and pleases all along. Worth seeing it!

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.

WOW.... Watched Mario last night, and it was utterly bang on. 9 stars, and one of the best gay films I have ever seen. The acting was sublime, especially by the two leads, and much of the supporting cast were excellent also, and the direction was almost flawless. Others may disagree, but I thought the ending was realistic and very well handled given the context of the story. Similarities with the very excellent Free Fall. As a gay football fan, also enjoyed the setting and onfield action. However, totally baffled how Mario attracted an '18' rating. Bollocks to that. In my Top 5 all-time gay films.

I gave this a 9/10 just because I didn't like how the movie ended. Not to say it shouldn't have ended the way it did but for me it didn't seem finished. The movie was good, the actors had chemistry, and the acting was good. Their relationship was sweet and complicated for their given careers; for me the ending wasn't enough.
