Offside

The amateur ensemble cast and superb satire make this one of the best football films going.

...a sports film unlike any other, and a political film that makes the personal profound.

...ruminations on secular Iranian nationalism are effectively couched within the characters, and the film, which won the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear but is banned in Iran, has a refreshing slyness to it...

...Offside skildrer sine skæbner og pointer så hjerteskærende smukt i al sin enkelthed, at det er svært at holde armene nede og øjnene tørre.

Skådespelarna är alla bra och dialogen känns riktigt svidande...
