Review of Diego Maradona (2019) by Apolsc — 07 Sep 2020

As an Argentinian and a football fanatic I know more about the subject of this documentary than what Kapadia shows during its length. It is understandable that he focuses on the part of Napoli which took Maradona to a Myth level, but the way he gives closure to the story feels very shallow, unlike Senna, Maradona is still alive, he has fallen and recovered many more times, and there are documentaries that are more complete and precise about this.

That said, Kapadia´s mastery in documentaries especially with sports subjects shows here again, with many emotional moments adorned by engaging music.
