Rivales

About This Movie

Rivales is an interesting take on rivalries that’s woven through the lens of football. The comedy hits on those sharp little moments we see in family dynamics, especially between parents and their kids, and of course, the ever-present tension between Madrid and Catalonia. What’s kind of fun here is how it mixes those personal rivalries with the broader cultural backdrop of Spanish football. The performances are decent, not overly flashy but they have that sort of charm that makes you feel connected to the characters. The pacing has a nice rhythm; it flows pretty well without feeling rushed. It's not groundbreaking, but it captures that competitive spirit and playful rivalry in a light-hearted way that's definitely distinct from more serious sports dramas.
