10 foreign reviews of Air: Courting A Legend (2023)

1. Moviezine

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: There really isn't much to complain about, except that it's a bit too safe and tame. It's a Hollywood movie with all that entails, including a pompous speech to the tones of melancholic music bordering on parody.

2. Aftonbladet

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Nearly two chatty hours about sponsorship agreements, marketing and fashion design should not be this entertaining, but "Air: Courting A Legend" scores point after point as a crowd-pleasing sports film without sports.

3. Game Reactor

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: On the whole, "Air: Courting A Legend" is an equally warm and inspiring biopic about trusting your gut instinct when things look darkest.

4. Cinetaste

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The play, the story, the dialogues, everything clicked and it didn't feel like a traditional, typical biopic where you go from the beginning to the end.

5. Nöjesguiden

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Despite the slightly clumsy and weary structure, it is an unavoidably entertaining brand history.

8. Filmtopp

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: It simply never becomes particularly exciting and the last quarter feels really long-winded.

6 / 10
