The reality is that, even in soccer, the development of the story falls short. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinema Movil
The film's predictability is counterbalanced by a terrific score comprised of several styles of Latin music, colorful production design, lots of special effects, and some memorable plays by the child actors who portray Pelé.

The rags to riches story of the first 17 years in the life of soccer superstar Pelé are covered in this painfully routine biopic.

San Diego Reader
It's as if Pelé is no longer a flesh-and-blood character, but a cog in an inspiration machine that pumps out manufactured conflict and expected victory.

Thankfully, the actors who play Pele - Leonardo Lima Carvalho as kid Pele and Kevin de Paula as young Pele - are so genuine and have such nifty footwork that they make the proceedings fun and beautiful.

The film is beautiful and entertaining even though it has some limitations, particularly in the oversimplification of the economic and racial dynamics surrounding places and events.

The story of Brazilian soccer's ascension to the world stage is a remarkable one, and the film would have benefitted if the Zimbalists had found a way to add a bit of depth - or even doubt - to the legend.

Product Description:
This biopic chronicles the incredible journey of Brazilian soccer star Pelé (played as a young boy by Leonardo Lima Carvalho, and as a teen by Kevin de Paula). BIRTH OF A LEGEND focuses on his youth in the slums of São Paulo and his rapid ascension to the national team, where, at the age of just 17, he helped lead the squad to their first ever World Cup victory in 1958. Vincent D'Onofrio co-stars. Directed by Jeff and Michael Zimbalist.
