Neymar: The Perfect Chaos reviews

The much-anticipated documentary has received not-so-great reviews so far. However, it sure has made itself the talk of the town.

“Despite the series slating to show the public who Neymar really is, it doesn’t come close. Even with the use of home and personal interviews, Neymar: The Perfect Chaos does nothing more than highlight that the series has been created to put Neymar in a better light. Is this series likely to change the public opinion of Neymar? No. To be honest, I think a lot won’t even watch it. Sure, his fans will enjoy it. But for those that don’t exactly have the greatest opinion of Neymar, likely they won’t waste their time watching it.” writes Jordan Russell Lyon of Ready Steady Cut. 

Scott Hines of Decider writes, “It might be asking too much to want The Perfect Chaos to shed light on Neymar’s inner life, because that doesn’t appear to be the producer’s intentions here; this isn’t a neutral work. The way everything is presented–the game film, the interviews, the framing of the story from the opening scenes–makes it clear that this is intended as hagiography, a glossy advertisement for Neymar: The Brand.”
