Plot
The story revolves around an eleven years old boy, Will. After the death of his mother he is left with his father, Gareth. His father was a soccer player. He returned to his son after three years and promised to take him to watch the Champions League final together which his favourite team, Liverpool FC was featuring. Unfortunately, Gareth died tragically and Will is left all alone.
To fulfil his father's wishes, he travels alone to Istanbul to watch the final match. On his journey to Istanbul he made a new friend, Alex who also was a football player in his youth. Throughout his journey, Will encounters many hurdles.
Star performance
Perry Eggleton played Will's character. His exceptional acting skills and ability to connect with audiences were top-notch. He presented his character filled with different emotions. Other stars like Damian, who played the character of Will's father with limited screen time, his performance is appreciable. The father-son relationship presented by Damian and Perry is remarkable. Another significant character is Alex. Kiehlinge played his role. His chemistry with Will is terrific. He helped Will's character to develop while his character dealt with his own problems and complexities.
Analysis
The movie is not entirely about soccer, rather it is also a tale about hope, resilience, and a sense of loss. It is an inspirational movie. Will an eleven year old go through many difficult times. First his mother dies and then his father. As Will's name indicates, his character has a strong will power that gives him strength to tackle hardships. The Film shows soccer as a source of connection between people of different nationalities. There were many emotional scenes in the movie, for instance, Will taking a bus to go to Istanbul alone, and the death of his father. Infact, the cinematography was awesome as it added realistic characteristics to the movie.
Despite the emotional connection of the film with the audience it somewhere lacked in script. The script was poor. It could have been more interesting with some comedy in between scenes. The soundtrack was delightful and joyful. However, the script lost excitement towards the ending as the plot was pretty predictable.

Verdict
Will is a story about individual triumph over hardships and hurdles that gets in the way of an 11 year old boy. It also falls under the category of family friend drama as it is quite a sentimental tale. The movie is a must watch for children and for soccer fans as well. However, if one prefers fast paced movies and gets bored easily, they can skip the movie.
As a one-time watch, the movie is excellent.
