The Hand of God (7.3/10)

This 2021 Italian-language coming-of-age film is a beautifully shot emotional rollercoaster for its main character. While it won numerous awards for its artistry and storytelling, it ultimately wasn’t my personal favorite. That said, it remains a well-executed and moving piece of cinema. In 1980s Naples, an awkward teenager searching for his place in the world experiences both heartbreak and liberation after a freak accident—averted by none other than football legend Diego Maradona—changes the course of his life.
