Goals

About This Movie

Goals (2021) takes you into the lives of two girls, Husna and Charlotte, who are navigating their youthful dreams amidst the backdrop of a high-rise estate in Antwerp. It’s not your flashy sports documentary; there’s a raw authenticity to their story, reflecting the struggles and aspirations of growing up in an environment where big dreams seem out of reach. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe, which really lets you soak in their bond and determination. The performances feel genuine, capturing the highs and lows of youth athletics. It’s this blend of realism and ambition that sets it apart; it’s less about the game itself and more about the journey, the friendships, and the pursuit of something greater.
