Academy Award® winner Taika Waititi (Best Adapted Screenplay, 2019, “Jojo Rabbit”) directs this heartfelt, underdog comedy based on a true story and written by Waititi and Iain Morris. “Next Goal Wins” follows the American Samoa soccer team, infamous for their brutal 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup qualifiers fast approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender), hoping he will turn the world’s worst soccer team into winners. This funny, uplifting film also features Will Arnett and Elisabeth Moss.

Next Goal Wins is uplifting, silly, predictable, but also basic.

Taika Waititi masterfully combines humor with themes of identity in Next Goal Wins, highlighting his distinctive style.

Fat Guys at the Movies

Kevin Carr

Imperfect and struggles to make a splash in the wake of Ted Lasso, but it’s still an sweet, uplifting ride

... "Next Goal Wins" offers viewers a film that plays like comfort food: inviting, enjoyable, and filling. It may not work for everyone, but if you’re in the camp that leans more toward Waititi’s wavelength, "Next Goal Wins" scores.
