Fascinating Film!

Even for a non-football fan like me, it was an excellent tale. The film is so well crafted and gives insights into an aspect of Brazil and football-culture that I could never imagine. Bravi to all involved.

The best story you've never heard

A superb film about a Brazilian who conned a 26-year career as a football superstar. It looks stunning, has great interviews and a brilliant twist.

What a story!

A brilliant true story that is almost unbelievable, it is incredible! Great movie that will delight even those that don't like football and the soundtrack is epic

Very enjoyable

Very enjoyable documentary and I'm not a football fan. You'll make your own mind up about Kaiser after watching this.

Really is the football version of catch me if you can!

As a female with little knowledge of football, this wouldn't be my usual choice of film but I was pleasantly surprised. Beautifully shot and brilliantly told, the story of the tragic figure that is Carlos Kaiser provides the full spectrum of emotions, from laughter to sadness. It's a fascinating story and can't believe it's taken this long to be picked up.

I also read that the guys who made this dreamt up the idea in a pub, with little experience of filmmaking, unbelievable in itself!

Brilliant soundtrack too - go and see it.
