...even if you don't buy into the heretical notions contained here, there's something beguiling about this unique vision of liquid football....

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 21, 2022

An intriguing concept mired by sluggish conversation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 31, 2021

The leaps that get us there are so subtle that the philosophical reach of the film's finale - which, like The Whistlers, is built around a linguistic flourish - proves unexpectedly thrilling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2020

At times both sad and darkly comic, Infinite Football is an interesting, albeit simply told, account of the changes you'd make if you could go back and make them.

| May 10, 2020

Deadpan humour does arise out of simple edits, such as a close-up of [Laurentiu] Ginghina talking that cuts to a mid-shot which reveals he has been brandishing a pointer and standing in front of a whiteboard the whole time.

| May 6, 2020

The 70-minute running time passes like a brisk dream during a slightly delirious nap.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 6, 2020

A special film about the beautiful game, and so much more.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 6, 2020

Of all the Romanian New Wave filmmakers, Corneliu Porumboiu (Police, Adjective) has the best sense of humor; his sweet-and-sour approach balances a stingingly satirical view of institutions with a warm acceptance of kooky individuals.

| Mar 11, 2020

A drolly funny and strangely melancholy film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 3, 2019

Porumboiu proves that even a game of two halves can have multiple dimensions.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2019

It's unclear whether "Infinite Football" is more tragedy or comedy, and in that lack of clarity lies something like wonderment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 28, 2019

Infinite Football is the best testament yet to Porumboiu's genius, as he moulds seemingly artless parts into an unexpectedly profound whole.

| Jan 25, 2019

As a director, Porumboiu's approach is less swashbuckling attack than methodical possession game.

| Dec 19, 2018

This relatively short film contains worlds.

| Nov 9, 2018

Porumboiu reminds you with simplicity that Infinite Football is working within the poetry of a portrait, albeit one of many warming, droll moments.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 9, 2018

This is rich material, sharply developed. It's also touchingly optimistic about man's capacity for incremental change.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 6, 2018

An offbeat gem of a documentary.

| Nov 3, 2018

It's one of the most original and visionary documentary films to have emerged recently...

| Apr 29, 2018

In short, Infinite Football transmits something personal and universal at the same time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 19, 2018

Corneliu Porumboiu resists spelling anything out but the bare essentials, instead continuing his project of inviting viewers to closely parse the acerbic day-to-day banalities of post-Ceausescu Romania.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 1, 2018
