After premiering at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins received mixed to negative reviews from critics. The New Zealand filmmaker was once considered one of the freshest voices in comedy filmmaking, but his latest feel-good romp is gearing up to barely make a splash with critics or audiences. This is a surprise given how Waititi used to be a critical darling who could get incredible reviews for his indie comedies, as well as his gigantic blockbusters. Following on the heels of Thor: Love and Thunder's mixed critical reception, Next Goal Wins has been met with an underwhelming reception so far.
