Jag är Zlatan

Predictable and superficial. Poor acting on all parts, unfortunately not least when it comes to the main character. A polished and fan-adapted version of the main character. The entire movie feels juvenile and does not seize the opportunity to create insights in Z as a person or the influence he had on those around him. Rather it just confirms the general image of a non-conformist, grumpy ego without creating any understanding for the driving forces involved. It fails to bring anything new to the table.

The film seems to be focused on building the Zlatan mythology and brand rather than telling the story of his life in a good way. This is a pity, since Z's history has great potential.

On the positive side.

I guess the football scenes are pretty good and it is said to be quite historically accurate.

There is no real reason to see it. If you are a fan, it likely confirms your opinions. If you're not, it doesn't add much.

"I Am Zlatan" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we follow the life of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most controversial and talented footballers of all time. The movie offers a close look at Zlatan's journey from his rough upbringing in Sweden to his rise as a global football star.

I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie and it captured very well the essence of Zlatan's personality while it presented very well the challenges that he faced. Despite that, I also expected a deeper exploration of his inner conflict and complexities. The interpretation of the lead actor Granit Rushiti who played as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was very good and added authenticity to the portrayal. To sum up, I have to say that "I Am Zlatan" is a nice movie especially for football fans or anyone curious about the man behind the legend. It might not be perfect, but it offers a glimpse into the unique journey of one of the sport's most polarizing figures so, I would recommend it to those who admire Zlatan Ibrahimovic or enjoy sports dramas.

Zlatan's story is fascinating. This movie is average. I was entertained but I felt like this approach ruled out many interesting episodes in Zlatan's life.

There were too many transactions between the adult and child phases that ended up removing emotion and decontextualizing the temporal thread.

The movie picture was a little monotonous and the sound of the movie was linked to that vibe.

The actors were competent but without grace. The actor who played Zlatan showed some personality but lacked some aura around the character.

Maybe I was too hyped, but this movie turned out not to live up to its potential.

Movie is low budget, but with real-life feel to it. And that is what is so good about it. Cast is great. You can sense Zlatan's real character both in "young Zlatan" and grown up Zlatan. Actor playing older Ibra is A M A Z I N G. He captured the essence of this ultra-famous footballer almost perfectly. Voice, body language, laugh, how he talks to other footballers. What most won't understand is the realtionship between balkan fathers, mothers and sons. The poverty of Balkan people is real. Cheap food, small appartments, never truly accepted by foreign people. Balkan boys were never truly accepted in foreign enviorments, which is why we develop this rebelliousness. We are tought to learn the hard way and Zlatan is stellar representative of Balkan boy, good in heart but rebellious and with burden of life pushing him further. While many fail and succumb to hard life, he never gave up. And that is what makes him GOAT. He did many things wrong, but he did more right, leading him to be such an important person in a world of football. Respected world wide.

"Bravo ljudino! Cak si dobio i svoj cijelovecerac! Zasluzeno IbraKadabra!"

Don't believe the hype. Sure, it's a pretty good movie with great actors but it doesn't really explain why Zlatan is Zlatan, on a deeper level. You won't cry or laugh. And if you don't know some of the names that are dropped, you will miss a lot. And as always, you can't fake the real game of football on the silver screen. It just gets silly and fabricated. If you're not a fanboy, skip this rather boring and shallow movie since it will not bring any extra, as a movie or the story of Zlatan.
