Next Goal Wins (not to be confused with the documentary film from 2014 about the same subject) is really fun. I also laughed a lot. Taika Waititi for some reason puts a strange frame around the story, but once we get past that (and it’s very quick) the movie is a delight. It has also has a fa'afafine central character; this was unexpected and exciting, and I thought the film was really smart about this very specific queer identity.
