Reviews
Critics have had mixed opinions about Eleven Men Out. While some have praised its bold approach to addressing LGBTQ+ issues in a sports-centric setting, others have criticized its execution and depth. The movie has received a 5.0/10 rating on IMDb and a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One reviewer from IndieWire commented, "Eleven Men Out offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of sexuality and sports, but falls short in delivering a truly compelling narrative." However, Variety hailed the film as "a groundbreaking portrayal of LGBTQ+ athletes challenging the status quo in the world of soccer." Despite its shortcomings, Eleven Men Out has sparked important conversations about inclusivity and diversity in sports.
