Next Goal Wins (2014) | Ratings & Reviews

"The victories it does achieve are enormously satisfying."

The DissolveThe Dissolve

"Lingers rather too long towards the end on drawing out its message, but it is a thoroughly engaging exploration of sport, culture, community and the nature of achievement."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"In some ways, this is just another underdogs-go-for-it sports movie. In others, it is as sensitive and observant as an Edith Wharton novel."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"An irresistible underdog story - sports-fan credentials not required."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Proves to be a charming and intoxicating sports documentary as it follows the brave and stoical attempt by American Samoa's national team to break the worst losing record in the history of the international game."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"Next Goal Wins lingers rather too long towards the end on drawing out its message, but it is a thoroughly engaging exploration of sport, culture, community and the nature of achievement."

The AgeThe Age

"A triumph-of-the-underdog documentary so amusing and inspirational you'll have to Google events to ensure it's not a mockumentary. Back of the net."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Slightly muted closing stretch lets the air out of the ball ever so slightly, but by then it's already in the top corner."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"As an antidote to Premier League cynicism, it couldn't be bettered."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Watching this was the first time I have ever punched the air because a football sailed into the back of a net. And very probably the last."
