Messi

About This Movie

So, this film 'Messi' dives into a really personal moment during the 2022 World Cup. It’s set in Porto Soberbo, Brazil, where we see Edu on vacation, but it’s not just about the game. The atmosphere is quite intimate, as he’s gathered with family, experiencing the tension of the Argentina vs. Netherlands quarter-finals. You really feel the weight of the moment, the joy and anxiety intertwining. It sort of plays out like a home video, but with the backdrop of a high-stakes match that has everyone on edge. The pacing is slow but deliberately so, allowing you to soak in the familial bonds and the impact of the game on their leisure time. It’s a neat blend of sport and life, capturing how football weaves into personal experiences.
