G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle 6h
2.5/4
“México 86” may be a little too inside baseball — er, fútbol — for some, but its light breezy comedy goes down well. Go to Full Review Peyton Robinson RogerEbert.com 15h
2.5/4
While Luna undeniably keeps this boat afloat, it’s difficult to proclaim that the script truly serves the story it sets out to tell. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 8h
Mexico 86’s ambition is palpable, and Luna is typically entertaining. But the film ultimately falls short of its grand goals. Go to Full Review Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum 16h
C
A mildly diverting entertainment that, like the World Cup, is forgotten not long after the last kick. Go to Full Review Josh Bate Screen Rant 20h
4/10
In moments where the stakes should feel high, the often mean-spirited humor robs the sequence of any tension, leaving Mexico 86 to feel off-putting when it should feel gripping. Go to Full Review Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine 6d
7/10
More interested in power than soccer, Mexico 86 is a witty political satire elevated by Diego Luna and Daniel Giménez Cacho. An entertaining reminder that the biggest games are often played far from the pitch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
