A shallow glimpse into the life of Heleno de Freitas that's anchored by breathtaking black-and-white cinematography and a bravura, raw performance by Rodrigo Santoro. It ultimately nourishes your heart more than your mind.

The script rarely digs beneath the surface of its intriguing subject.

What you get instead of soccer is almost two hours of late-stage syphilis.

New York Post
Rating: B+ --
José Henrique Fonseca's handsome black-and-white, impressionistic bio-drama goes very Raging Bull-ish, to tell a piece of the story of Heleno de Freitas, a Brazilian soccer star with matinee-idol charisma.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Equal parts temper and tenderness, lust and incaution, "Heleno" is short on specifics but long on impression.
New York Times
Heleno might have been stronger by better avoiding the clichés of its genre-yet there are still benefits to this stylish work.

Film Journal International
[C]uriously all but avoids the game -- except for a few opportunities for Heleno, a hothead with no self-control, to berate and abuse his teammates -- in favor of a lurid focus on his other public exploits.
