A 2014 English-language French drama film about the origins of the football world governing body Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), "United Passions" starred Tim Roth (as FIFA President Sepp Blatter), Gérard Depardieu and Sam Neill, and was directed by Frédéric Auburtin. "United Passions" release in the U.S. occurred simultaneously with the 2015 FIFA corruption case, in which several current and former members of FIFA's executive committee were arrested on charges of corruption, and Blatter himself resigned following repeated accusations of corruption at FIFA under his leadership. "United Passions" was accused of ignoring these long-running claims. "London Evening Standard"s Des Kelly wrote that "United Passions" was "the worst movie ever made" and "the most extraordinary vanity exercise; a vile, self-aggrandizing, sugar-coated pile of manure". Sean Mahoney of "Inquisitr" called it the "worst movie ever". Daniel Gold of "The New York Times" claimed "United Passions" is "one of the most unwatchable films in recent memory, a dishonest bit of corporate-suite sanitizing that's no good even for laughs", later stating it would make the top three of his list of all time bad films. Several critics noted the irony of the film's depiction of Blatter as an anti-corruption campaigner. Paul Field of the "Daily Mirror" said that this created "unintentional comedy gold", while Sara Stewart of the "New York Post" described it as "hilariously ill-timed". On Rotten Tomatoes, "United Passions" has an approval rating of 0% based on 16 reviews, while on Metacritic, the film holds a score of 1 out of 100, based on 9 critics, and is tied for the lowest scoring film on the site.
