Diego Maradona's reviews
Media reviews
The Telegraph
Asif Kapadia compels you to care, whether you like football or not
The Guardian
Asif Kapadia captures all the euphoria and catastrophe in a gripping documentary about the ?hand of God? megastar
Empire
A compelling, tragic life of gangsters, glory, goal-scoring and addiction ? told with flair, if not with full substance, by a master storyteller
El Mundo
Look in and out at the same time. Like Varda herself, the documentary combines a very gentle rhythm with an intellectual scathingness.
El País
The film may not attract more audiences than the footballer, although it is successfully following the line of 'Amy'. And what he confesses to this study character is revealing, sincere and for him liberating.
The Hollywood Reporter
Strong on source material, weak on detail
Variety
Asif Kapadia tries to do for the Argentine football legend Diego Maradona what he did for the fallen idols of 'Amy' and 'Senna.' But in this case, more of his video-verité approach becomes less.
