Last night I watched Offside. It is about girls in Iran who try to sneak into soccer games, where they are not allowed. When they are found out, they are sent to a holding area and guarded by boys their age. Together they find out that they have more in common than not.
It was an interesting movie. I felt like there was a story here, but there wasn't strongly presented. It seemed like we should have focused on one girl and shown more before and after the game. The plot wasn't really strong enough, neither was the acting or cinematography. It felt like they were just giving information and not actually telling a story.
I wouldn't really recommend this movie, but it's not a total waste of time either.
IMDB: All of the actors are non-professional, and you can tell, not that that's a bad thing.
