In 2011, David Lagercrantz released a successful biography about the remarkable journey that Zlatan Ibrahimovic made from a poorly integrated community in Malmƶ to life as one of the worldās greatest soccer talents. This screen adaptation jumps back and forth in time, following two crucial periods in his life, as a stubborn kid learning the game and as a promising but annoyingly cocky and independent teen talent (well played by newcomer Granit Rushiti). An engaging, grounded attempt to identify the challenges in Zlatanās background and character and how he learned to master them.
