Directed by Taika Waititi (“Jojo Rabbit”, “Thor: Ragnarok”), “Next Goal Wins” follows the infamously terrible American Samoa soccer team, known for a brutal 2001 FIFA match they lost 31-0. With the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) hoping he will turn the world’s worst soccer team around in this humorous and heartfelt underdog story.
“Like “Eagle vs. Shark”, “Boy”, and “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”, “Next Goal Wins” is rich with both Waititi’s sideways humour, and his embrace of the weird, vulnerable, and unpredictable in all of us.”
