Will

Nothing can stand in the way of a will power. Before watching, i had some prejudice about this movie. First,I thought that it would be one of those one-sided movies but I was wrong.One may think that it is all about football or Liverpool. But it isn't. It is all about holding on to life.We all need something to hold on to.In this movie that something is football for an eleven year old kid who has almost lost all his hopes in everything.Each one of us find relief in different things, some go fishing , some do gardening, some lay on their backs all day dreaming ,but we all do something to relax. In this movie, you will find yourself.

Well, it's not only for football fans (sorry, American mates, it's not "soccer"!). It's not only if you are a proud "RED-MAN" (like myself), a supporter of the MIGHTY LIVERPOOL FC.!!!... ...It's a family movie. You can watch it, no matter what.

It's not perfect film, no question about it. But is emotional, is dramatic, is good to watch it.

Obviously... if you're a football fan... and even more, if you are a LIVERPOOL FC supporter... you won't stop crying, at the end of the film - I couldn't. I remember every single second of these MAGNIFICENT three days in Istanbul; these days that changed my life for ever... ...I understood that except my true family (parents, sister, etc), I have also A HUGE "RED family", so proud, so magnificent, so magic.

I remember all... And I do remember the long way back (from stadium, many-many miles away from the city), by foot (!) - because we've lost the bus - and arrived in Istanbul early hours of next morning... without feeling tired, without any thought of sleep... just a remarkable joy, like we have conquered the universe!!!

...You'll taste a bit of it, in this film. You'll taste a bit of OUR PRIDE, OUR "RED" ONE!

"YNWA"... as always, my Liverpool!

This is the most inspirational film I've seen in a long time. Ignore the critics—many who have criticized the emotional intensity of this film. Perhaps they are uncomfortable with their own emotions. If you have an open heart you will LOVE this movie. This is a film about overcoming life's obstacles by staying true to your heart. You will laugh, cry, feel excited, disappointed, sad, and exhilarated. This film has beautiful cinematography (see it on a big screen!) and music depicting a moving story of passion (Will's passion for football). If you're not already a Liverpool fan, seeing this movie will make you one!

I have just seen this film at the Kerala Film Festival in India and I am still amazed! It might be very well the best football feature film of the year 2011. The story about a boy who tackles his great trauma with the potential healing power of football and who is helped wherever he goes by the solidarity of football fans from different nations brought me at different moments very very close to tears. It didn't surprised me that a female director got this deep understanding of the very soul of football, but when two American scriptwriter-producer prove to be so close at the heart of what they have to call "soccer" in their own country - then there is hope for more good football films to come out of Hollywood...

they don't make many movies with a soccer story line to them.

i just finished watching will. runs a very close 2nd to the cup for favorite soccer movies.

i saw it as a soccer theme movie but with a Charlie and the chocolate factory flavor. a very delightful. heart warming movie that also includes pain and sorrow. its rated pg and a great family movie. well worth the watch great timing also with the world cup less than 2 weeks away.

the kids are sure to enjoy this film along with the cup and bend it like Beckham
