Taika Waititi’s latest directorial work, Next Goal Wins, didn’t exactly open to rave reviews overseas.
In the Guardian, Waititi’s latest project was described as a, “lacklustre fact-based string-puller”, while Vulture wrote “the film is … so sloppily assembled, and so lazy, that it frequently ends up feeling like an inadvertent parody of the underdog-sports genre it belongs to.”
Collider was just as bold, with this being their headline: “’Next Goal Wins’ Review: Extremely OK Sports Comedy Slightly Improved by Solid Taika Waititi Jokes”.
It’s easy to see why they didn’t get it – at its heart, Next Goal Wins is a classic NZ comedy.
