On the Bench

About This Movie

So, 'On the Bench' is a quirky little comedy that dives into the world of sports fandom, particularly focusing on PSG and Zlatan. You know, it captures that feeling of obsession—Samir’s passion is palpable, but it’s also relatable; we’ve all been there with our own interests. The pacing has a nice rhythm, shifting from Samir’s single-minded focus to Anna’s gradual immersion into this world. It has a light, almost whimsical tone, and despite the unknown director, the performances really bring this contrast between love and obsession to life. That moment when Anna finally joins him at the match? It's well-placed and shifts the dynamics beautifully. Not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s a fun watch for those who appreciate the culture around sports.
