Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

rbalon There are several other people out there calling it a masterpiece. It's not. Many other sports films like Creed and Rocky Balboa are examples of masterpieces. Something's very wrong here. Don't fall into the bait people. This movie is terrible. Positive reviews are from fake profiles. This movie is an utter pile of lies from a fraudulent French company which does not look into history and even they're lacking total lore in United Passions. This doesn't even deserve to win a single Oscar award. Why would it win any? Such a stupid idea one reviewer on this movie on Metacritic said. Poor quality of the drama and the script looks like it was written by an unprofessional script writer. Plotholes, yes they are there. Watch outUnnecessary blushed romance? What? Really? As a fan of football, I can surely tell that I am so disappointed with this work. Do not be swayed by positive criticism. They are just leading you to a dangerous end. Just a box office bomb just for the laughs United Passions: A Football Story of Lies, Unread History and Lore. I can tell you now that it SUCKS. Ignore the spammers of the love button.

Judie Feldman This film is kind of boring for women but, interestingly, actor Anthony Higgins does a nice cameo near the beginning of it, (looking like Verdi did near the end of his life-- great makeup and costuming on him; loved the top hat.). His character's purpose seems to show the beginning of passionate enthusiasm in fans (that, one hundred years later, would turn to mass hysteria). However, many soccer fans say the facts in the film are messed up.

elijaprice Why on earth was this film ever made? Who did they think would care? Apparently 90% of the budget was supplied by FIFA, which just leaves me wondering who the hell put up the other 10%.By turns hilarious and nauseating, this shining great turd of a self-congratulatory vanity project is so ridiculous that if someone had told me it was a parody, I would have believed them. It's the kind of movie that makes you want to hurt members of your own family just to give you an excuse to stop watching. It tells the 'story' of those unsung heroes of the world, FOOTBALL FAT CATS. Who, apparently, are all saints. Why? Just because. Don't argue. And they're ENTITLED to luxury goddammit, because they're making dreams come true. It just so happens that the dreams are their own, and those dreams consist of drinking champagne and private jets and staying in luxury hotels - yes, in a multi-million dollar movie starring famous and respected actors, this film literally has the cheek to include not one, but many lines of dialogue attempting to justify football officials indulging themselves. Sepp Blatter, cast as a sort of modern day crusader (presumably by himself, I can't imagine why anyone else would have), played by Tim Roth, is given close-ups and swelling emotional incidental music as if he is some kind of hero, but nobody, least of all the filmmakers, seems to have any idea why. It's honestly like a propaganda film biography of el presidente designed to encourage the cult of personality in some tinpot banana republic. ('Look, he pays the wages out of his own pocket when all others around him are corrupt! He is such a man of the people that he knows the cleaning lady's name!')It ends up just being bizarre, and you feel sorry for pretty much everyone involved with it. Also, weirdly, this film portrays all English people as racist, sexist, stuck-up tossers. Why? Is it coz they wouldn't join FIFA's gentleman's club 100 years ago? Seems a little petty.

zandermnewman This is one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever written.I'm guessing one of the writers was Septic Bladder.All the 'bad' people have accents from Britain & Ireland... Which I imagine is a coincidence.I discovered that the English were horrendous people.The acting is faultless, absolutely brilliant!Jamming some tenuous bit about women, in the most contrived, patronising way at the end, was genius! FLAWLESS DIRECTING! (I mean the English already had a women's football league in 1914... But whatever, we're disgusting racists.)They keep calling Sepp Blatter, Sepp Bladder. Which is an unexpected bonus.The timing of this film is brilliant!I mean, if you hate the English and everything The FA stands for, this is your film.I'd recommend it to everyone.One of the best pieces of satire I've ever seen.It is satire, right? It's not intended to be taken seriously, is it...?
