For all the fuss that's sometimes been made of the film's semi-experimental approach, it is first and foremost a sensory experience that puts the viewer right on the field.

You learn little by way of hard facts about the adored French soccer star and famous head-butter Zinedine Zidane in the formalist exercise that bears his name.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Fresh
To see everything boiled down to one man's stillness and movement is a transcendentalist high, a concentrated dose of poetry in motion.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Fresh
He's set apart not only as the piece's sole subject but because he's hyper-alert, continually responding to invisible forces, raptly focused on events beyond the frame.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rotten
Alternately hypnotic and irksome.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
