"To get a sense of Pelada's unique motivational quality, take the gut feeling a killer Nike commercial can evoke and imagine riding that high for 90 minutes…an all-around inspiring doc" Peter Debruge, VARIETY
"a marvelous new soccer documentary...what elevates Pelada from a cute highlight travelogue to something more resonant is the filmmakers' ability to find compelling stories and earn the trust of their
interview subjects…the result is a film that combines eye-popping cinematography with human stories." Grant Wahl, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
"[Pelada is] deeply personal, emotionally resonant, engrossingly informative, and humbly objective. The combination is potent." Landon Palmer, FILM SCHOOL REJECTS
