The documentary makes a strong case for just how remarkable a team they are. While LFG doesn’t divulge the elusive recipe, it ladles what one teammate called the group’s “special sauce.”

Both films are conventional in cinematic style, and they constitute the kind of feel-good entertainment that is easy to recommend. But what is timely and interesting — even thorny — about these films is their focus on the economic opportunities generated by athletic achievement

The issues in the film add up to a rat’s nest of athletic, economic and gender questions. But they’re given only superficial scrutiny in a production that’s essentially propaganda, powered by pumped-up music and pumped-up players.

Boring and misses the point. Women's soccer just does NOT draw the crowds men's soccer does. And still they get a bigger piece of the pie than the men. It's a fact and instead of working to engage audiences in women's soccer, they choose instead to cry "misogyny." It's the worst attempt at cancel culture and wokeness. This documentary does nothing to change those facts or even add anything to a tired conversation. I'll just wait until sports is no longer gendered then none of these idiots will have a job.

0! Not a review bomb - an honest placement of review. This documentary isn't entertainment; it is informative media. The information is primarily false. Women don't need entitled lying phonies to represent them; it is a thorn in the side of equality. [Link omitted per site rules]
