Reviews
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Andres Salama So-so documentary about the arrival of Johan Cruijff (or Cruyff, as he is probably better known internationally), then the world's best football player, to Barcelona Football Club in 1974, and how it changed the fortunes of the Catalan team, who won several championships in the following years, and beat eternal rival Real Madrid 5-0 in Madrid in a memorable game. There are interviews with fans, and with Cruyff himself, but there is not much more. Only for die hard football fans. Even with such limited appeal, it could have been more interesting. The title - en un momento dado - means in a given moment - and it was an expression apparently popularized by Cruyff in Spain.
ckiral This film should not be treated as a mere football (or soccer in US terms)related documentary. There is much more than just a football star. The film is designed around Barcelona'a Catalan identity, and how Cruffy has uplifted the entire Catalan community's morale and self esteem during his years as a player and a coach. The film starts with Catalan related motives, and continues with Cruffy's football and personal qualities. I especially liked the fans' imitation of Cruffy's well-known figures and moves. I guess this is one of the best documentaries for a sports person. When I was young, I didn't like Cruyff, but after watching the film, my opinions has changed drastically. I truly recommend it to all documentary and Cruffy fans.
marco-kloots This movie shows the passion of the people from Barcelona for their number one football club & their number one all time player Johan Cruyff.The movie shows that Cruyff was not only a great player, but also a great leader, inspirator and a great tactician on and off the pitch. His class went beyond football and gave the catalans the pride they desparately needed after the oppression in the times of Franco.This movie is great in that it tells the story through several superb anecdotes. The best one in my opinion is the beginning where a man is brought to tears talking about the 0-5 victory against the greatest rivals Real Madrid: "We finally got those sons of bitches!"
a-lakeman This movie shows the impact of Johan Cruijff on the society of Catalunya, as El Salvador de Catalunya. First as footballplayer, later as trainer. Johan Cruijff brought back the pride so important to the people of Catalunya. A true document to be remembered. The movie contains some footage of important football matches, for instance against Madrid on February 15, 1974, one of the most important matches in the career of Cruijff in Barcelona. This match made Cruijff almost a legend. The way the people speak about Cruijff is amazing. The title of the movie is derived from an expression that Cruijff made in a press conference, but not true spanish.
