Just finished watching this. Visuals were stunning but the pacing felt a bit off in the second half. Still worth a watch!

I don't get the hype. The plot was predictable and the characters felt flat. It seems like style over substance to me. Maybe I missed something, but I was bored throughout.

An absolute masterpiece. The director managed to weave complex themes into a compelling narrative without it feeling forced. The cinematography is some of the best I've seen in years. Truly a cinematic experience that stays with you.

Offside

Hayat, a soccer fanatic from Hamburg, has breast cancer. After the operation, the 20-year-old feels disfigured and is no longer allowed to play football because of her medication. But a life without soccer? Unimaginable! For Hayat, the motto now is: after the game is before the game. The motley group of girls from FC Schanze, who neither have a jersey nor can dribble, take Hayat in. Her lousy coach Toni, who sees his main task as certifying that his girls are free of talent, also takes a liking to her. The way the roughneck courts her, first out of vanity and then out of genuine affection, and discovers his sensitivity in the process, is one of the film's great moments.
