Great story about a taboo in soccer
Beautiful and tender film about the first love. It hurts and pleases all along. Worth seeing it!
Great Film, so worth a watch!!
Such a great film, really pulls on your heart strings! The actors are great and really portrayed how the football world is and how hard it must be, a real eye opener.
I was really invested in the relationship and won't lie, was heartbroken with the ending! I know why the writer probably wanted to end it that way, but I feel left on a ledge. I know not all stories have a happy endings, but I need closure lol please have a sequel so I don't lay in bed at night thinking about it and trying to work out what happens next.

Mario's joy and pain
This film tells the story of two up and coming professional football players falling in love.
I loved this film because it tells a sweet romance, and also a very tough choice. The choice is very real because homophobia in professional sports is a well known phenomenon. Yet, it is a topic that is rarely touched upon in films. The actor playing Mario is a very good actor, because he displays emotions through his eyes, face and body. He convincingly tells his pain without the need for any words. "Mario" is an effective film that brings me to feel his joy and pain. I definitely recommend this film.

As Authentic As It Gets
The is one of the best gay films I've ever seen. As others have commented the acting is superb. So much is said by how the characters look at each other. The actors' character's actions and reactions to very real situations are so authentic, I had to remind myself I was watching a movie and not some witnessing some real-life drama. (I wish I knew these characters in real life.) If you're someone who loves a good (gay) love story, if you love a love story that spans the emotional gamut, if you're a hopeless romantic or a bit jaded you'll want to see this movie.
One of the best films I've ever seen
I'll keep it short and sweet... I don't get how anyone can watch this and not absolutely love it. I came into watching this film with very low expectations, I'm sorry but the cover just seemed so cheesy, on top of that I've never heard of the film, so again my expectations were very low. I'm so obsessed with this movie, I've watched it at least 10 times in the past few months. I'm dying for a sequel!
