Bend It Like Beckham

Jess Bhamra, the daughter of a strict Indian couple in London, is not permitted to play organized soccer, even though she is 18. When Jess is playing for fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by Jules Paxton, who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team. Jess uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also dealing with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe.
Love this movie, rlly heartwarming and funny. I found it relatable and they did great portraying Indian culture and what it's like for those people/kids, plus just being a teen. Slice of life vibes- had lots of spirit!
