Neymar: El caos perfecto

The Neymar Jr documentary was a fascinating look into the life and career of one of the world's top soccer players. From his humble beginnings in Brazil to his rise to fame at Barcelona and PSG, the film provided a unique and intimate perspective on Neymar's personal and professional journey. The footage of his incredible goals and game-winning moments was breathtaking, and the interviews with his family, friends, and teammates offered valuable insight into the person behind the player. Overall, the documentary was well-produced, engaging, and a must-watch for any soccer fan.

I hope there will be a sequel in the future!

This documentary is very inspiring. You will get to know the answers of what Neymar is - a man, monster or supreme !

"Neymar: The Perfect Chaos" (2022 release; 3 episodes totaling 165 min.) is a documentary about Brazilian footballer Neymar. As Episode 1 opens, Neymar is asked how he would like to open the documentary and Neymar suggests "random quotes", which we then promptly are served, mostly talking heads who are quick to judge Neymar the person, with one of them saying that "Neymar seems to enjoy the perfect chaos". We then go to "Paris 2017" when Neymar shocks the football world by forcing a transfer away from Barcelona and going to Paris Saint Germain for a world record transfer fee

Couple of comments: this documentary mini-series is directed by David Charles Rodrigues, who I admit I had never heard of before. More importantly, the series is produced by Lebron James (whose jersey Neymar wears at times in the documentary, along with Kobe Bryant's). Let's be clear: Neymar is a fantastic footballer. But is this a good documentary? The series was made with the full cooperation of Neymar and his family, providing tons of never before seen footage (often from Neymar's cell phone). It is clear that the Neymar family and organization has one objective in mind more than anything else: to protect and preserve the Neymar brand. On a number of occasions, we hear Neymar Sr. (his dad, who also is his manager) explain to the NR Sports management company employees that Neymar's playing days will be over "in 10 years" and that the brand must go on afterwards. Yes, the documentary briefly touches upon Neymar's most controversial moments including when he is accused of rape, but it is brushed over in a few moments, with Neymar stating that "anyone who knows me knows that I am a man of character, who would never do anything like that", and we simply must take it at face value. Surely this will not be the last documentary on Neymar, and I for one look forward to getting an independent look at Neymar at some point. May I suggest the Oscar winning documentarian Asif Kapadia, who brought us "Diego Maradona", "Amy", and "Senna", just to name those, all of which set the gold standard of making compelling, must-see documentary bio-pics.

"Neymar: The Perfect Chaos" premiered on Netflix this week, and as a die-hard soccer fan, I couldn't wait to see it. I watched all 3 episodes in a single setting last night. While it is fun to see snippets of Neymar's personal life, for me this documentary mini-series falls short of the high standards of other documentary bio-pics, such as those from the afore-mentioned Asif Kapadia. But of course don't take my word for it, so I encourage you to check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

No one needs to waste 3 hours to find out the young player is more worried about how much money he makes out of marketing his own image than playing well.

This series is basically Neymar's career change explained: from Soccer Player to Digital Influencer.

Docuseries that lives up to and merits its title, arguing every aspect of the Brazilian player from a reasonable perspective, making a constructive social critique.

"Neymar: The Perfect Chaos" is the exemplary representation of a footballer who could have been much more on the field, with incredible, remarkable potential, but who has unfortunately suffered many negative things. "The Perfect Chaos" is the exemplary representation of a footballer who could have been much more on the field, with incredible, remarkable potential, but who has unfortunately suffered many negative things. That is why, within the three episodes, we delve into an interesting narrative that may clarify some doubts about it. Of course, from the perspective of its creators. Director David Charles Rodrigues does well, along with the editing staff, they provide a smooth experience.

From my perspective, it meets every expectation when it comes to football documentaries. Arguing the beginnings of Neymar Jr, his upbringing, his talent, his relationship with his parents, his sense of belonging, his rise to professional football in Brazil, his transfers to European teams, and his problems with fame, the media, and fans.

Within his reflective messages, we have self-criticism, the importance of fatherhood, selfishness, anger, impulsivity, personal achievements, the disadvantages of fame, talent, secondary images, sacrifice, the fragility of the human being, business, friendship, actions with negative outcomes, among others.

The docuseries has good editing, music, and entertaining moments. Its narrative arc is decent, but it could have been better. I think its ending was somewhat rushed or simply lacked something to leave the audience's expectations open. It deserves the chance if you're a football fan.

6.5/10.
