BAGGIO: THE DIVINE PONYTAIL (Netflix Release USA 2021)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Baggio: The Divine Ponytail—dispiriting—does not work on an uplifting theme and serves to depress viewers throughout the movie partially due to the multiple injuries he suffers.

Additional Thanks

Thank you to Director Letizia Lamartirei for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Marco De Angelis and Nicola De Angelis for making the film possible. Additional characters/cast include: Roberto Baggio (Andrea Arcangeli), Andreina (Valentina Bellè), Vittorio Petrone (Thomas Trabacchi), Florindo (Andrea Pennacchi), Matilde Baggio (Anna Ferruzzo), and Arrigo Sacchi (Antonio Zayatteri).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. The movie has both subtitles and dubbing so that it serves international audiences. The best parts of this film are the soccer shoots and the cinematography but not enough of that to satisfy the average soccer fan.
