A touching and clever contemporary love story

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2013)

This film has superb acting performances and very well written dialog. The story is alright but could've been reduced to an average romantic comedy if handled wrong. Fortunately, it is spiced up with surprisingly insightful depictions of dysfunctional people. The main characters all suffer from some emotional problems, and we really get to feel what they feel, see how they act, think, and live. The film doesn't pander, it doesn't condescend, rather it points the finger at so-called "normal" people and laughs at their pretentiousness and their sense of superiority.
I don't watch football but this film really made me care about the final score of the match at the end.
