‘The Beautiful Game’ Review: Bill Nighy Brings Heart And Soul To Inspiring Film Focused On Second Chances For Soccer Team Of Homeless Players


A review of 'The Beautiful Game' starring Bill Nighy as a soccer coach to the ragtag team competing in the Homeless World Cup

Vinny demonstrates his aloof and sour manner in dealing with Nathan, and for that matter everyone else, as he feels he really doesn’t belong with this group even after being royally welcomed by them due to his obvious talents, if not his actual background of which they have no idea. On the heels of Taika Waititi’s 2023 Next Goal Wins about a losing ragtag Samoan soccer team this is another admirable addition to a sub-genre that relies heavily on the appeal of its cast. Cast: Bill Nighy, Micheal Ward, Callum Scott Howells, Kit Young, Tom Vaughan, Sheyi Cole, Robin Nazari, Valeria Golino, Cristina Rodlo
