The Film Stage -
Libatique isn’t messing around and his involvement is proof that the movie shouldn’t be dismissed. The cinematography got my attention and Pelé’s artistry (re-enacted or not) earned my emotional investment.

Movie Nation -
A sometimes entertaining, dazzling-on-the-field biography built around an utterly colorless lead performance.

|
Village Voice -
Co-directors Jeff and Michael Zimbalist stick to the playbook throughout, from typical moments of uplift to a Pelé cameo only slightly less fan-serving than Stan Lee's Marvel spots.

RogerEbert.com -
A well-meaning and sometimes interesting effort written and directed by brothers Jeff and Michael Zimbalist.

Washington Post -
Pelé: Birth of a Legend is too earnest and single-minded to be hagiographic, and the final moments are moving in spite of their predictable trajectories.
