    Taika does it again!
    A great watch for anyone who loves a good comedy with an emotional story attached.

    A compelling story of how winning isn't always the answer. Taika brings a lighthearted yet emotional view into the story of a failing soccer team and a washed up coach who both find that happiness isn't always what you think.

    Taika brings his signature style of filmaking to the big screen again, by taking a story and giving an excellent balance of humor and emotion that are shown throughout the Film.

    For anyone who loves Taika's works i believe this one ranks as a good example of his individual flair, style, and overall vision as a filmaker.

    Despite The Flaws, Next Goal Wins Was Still A Pretty Good Movie And Highly Entertaining Film
    7.5/10 It's one of those movies that in terms of the movie itself it was flaws and not perfect and not like amazing and different, but it's the entertaining value of it that makes me still ended up loving it, and that's basically Next Goal Wins and the better thing is it was overall still a pretty good movie, i guess you kinda always expected more from a Taika Waititi movie especially his filmmaking style, and his decision to not go fully there with Next Goal Wins was pretty disappointing, as i think everybody's agree that even though this film was a true event story, it's still felt like every other sports film, but i think what makes me still really appreciating it is of course the characters, they're are real enjoyable and thoughtful character, and especially Michael Fassbender in which he really did a good job in this one, it's a fast paced entertaining film, Next Goal Wins was an easy one to watch, little bit of heavy serious aspects and surprisingly works, i just have a good time with it mostly, and despite the flaws, Next Goal Wins was still a pretty good movie and highly entertaining film.
