Sunday Safe Betearly rating

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Critics loved it (100% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who get choked up at a comeback and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. A good follow-up to Bend It Like Beckham.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A group of undocumented Mexican immigrants work long hours six days a week, and then savor their day of rest on Sundays on the soccer fields of Brooklyn.
