The film is quite a commendable tribute to the incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The director focuses on the great narcissist Zlatan, showcasing how his ego and persona evolve. The portrayal of Zlatan as a young boy and teenager is well-crafted, but the depiction of adult Zlatan feels somewhat false and mediocre in its storytelling.
Despite this, the film is a compilation of heritage, environment, and the daily struggles. Personally, I would have preferred a mini-series instead of a feature film. It would have done more justice than merely ending with the contract with Juventus.
Overall, it’s recommended and deserves a 7/10.
