New Trailer/Featurette For Next Goal Wins Teases The Worst Soccer Team
After its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Searchlight has premiered a new trailer/featurette for Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins.
Next Goal Wins made its Toronto International Film Festival debut earlier this month, and so far, things are not exactly going well. The reviews aren't all terrible, but a decent portion are, which is never good. However, and we have to say this with every film that comes out of a film festival, that festival goggles are a very real thing. We even saw a version of them talked about in a recent investigation about Rotten Tomatoes as a thing that can be manipulated. So, a reminder that 1: film festivals leave very little room for nuance because you are working under extreme deadlines, so opinions tend to swing in extremes, and 2: RT is a guide, not be all end all. Searchlight has a neat little group of films coming out this fall, and this one does look pretty cute. Taika Waititi is at his best when he is telling stories like this, so maybe this will be a return to form for him. Plus, we could always use a few more feel-good comedies in the awards season. The new trailer is also kind of a featurette that was released today.
