Review by: Manisha Lakhe - NOWRUNNING
Over the last couple of years we have seen many a biopic on screen, and each one makes your heart overflow with happiness. Pele's story may be raw and not as polished as say Trumbo, or Senna or Rush, but it has all the ingredients to make you want to stay until the end credits have rolled.

Review by: Jordan Hoffman - The Guardian
To a non-fan, it looks like one guy kicked the ball to another guy and that guy kicked the ball in the net, but what the hell do I know? Soccer fanatics will meet me halfway and agree that AR Rahman’s anachronistic and omnipresent score is distracting, the dialogue sounds like made-for-TV gibberish, and the wide spectrum of accents is infuriating.

Review by: Nicolas Rapold - The New York Times
The film’s director of photography, Matthew Libatique, makes “Pelé” more than an eye-moistening anthem for a built-in global audience. Working around the screenplay’s childlike writing, this dynamic cinematographer hustles to turn the sensation of movement into the film’s driving force. He comes closer to evoking ginga than any of the gushy dialogue or soundtrack cues.
