Makes u think about things gay playerss are going through its a mix sadness sweetness just wow

Very topical story of gay footballers (in the closet). Quite a gentle film rather than hard hitting. Beautiful cast, beautiful locations - are there no ordinary looking gay guys/footballers?!

One very simulated very shortsex scene (you really see nothing) doesn't warrant an 18 certificate which is really disappointing and cuts off an important potential younger audience from this film.

Bit of a cliched ending in my book - have seen this type of ending many times but as I said its not a hard hitting film.

Worth watching just because there has been nothing like this out there before around football

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.

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.

Such an excellent movie with a touching story full of romantic feels and heartwhelming connections. The leads are great with outstanding realistic performances. The movie is very well made it really deserves an Oscar nomination for best Foreign Language film. I wouldn't call it a gay movie, I'd call it a movie for everyone who enjoys watching true love stories made in a nice professional way. Highly recommended.
