How would you sum up the main conflict or tension of this film?
"The very simple arc of the story is that there are a few guys who are main characters. There’s Claudio, as well as the players—and that’s both the famous players and the not-famous players, too—who come together. There’s the board. It’s people facing up to a challenge....And then Frank Lampard, he had a difficult challenge in the sense that his arrival was delayed, and that caused a lot of comment and grief and tension, and I think seeing that play out from the inside gives you a different take on it."
This I need to see.

<conspiracy talk>
do you think NYCFC had a say in what footage made the final cut (or tried to steer the story in a certain direction)?
. . . because with a documentary (or documentary-style film) you can hero-ize people while risk demonizing others (even making people look weak or foolish) . . . and City Football Group seems the type of organization that always wants to show itself as strong, capable and righteous.
so do you walk into the theater expecting propaganda?

Yes.
Well, let's see the producers names at the credits before we put on our tinfoil hats.

Please do, I'm hoping they put it online to watch at some point
Any one have any suggestions about where to go after the film to watch the game in tribeca?
Overall, I'd say it was decent.
It gives a nice concise recap of the team from the time of inception until the end of last season. I feel however, that it may be lacking for long term fans and members of this forum. There are no new or earth shattering facts in the documentary. We've been through and even discussed many of the topics at length. Additionally, as you can imagine, there's a lot to cover over the span of 2 years. Each long term fan will have their own interpretation and memories of NYCFC through this period. Things will be missed that an individual fan will remember or find important. I would liken it to watching the movie version of a book.
With that said, I would say that this film would be GREAT for any fans that are new to the team and either weren't around for the first season or want to get some background on what the team is about and who NYCFC is. I can picture myself sitting down with my kids 10 years from now and showing this film to them.
As for the content of the film, it mostly follows Reyna, Kreis and Villa. Lampard is barely mentioned and Pirlo gets about 2 minutes of screen time. There are other players that are interviewed here and there as well. I can't help but feel that this would be a much different film if we made the playoffs last season, Kreis was still around or Lampard actually played for us.
Personally, I feel this film came out too soon. Besides being the historic inaugural season, last season was pretty disappointing. It's not something I want to relive so soon after it happened. If it came out after this season, there may be more of a sense of nostalgia. Depending on how well we do this season, it may have even been a reflection of "wow, look how far we've come."
After the showing, Reyna, Villa and the director took questions from the crowd.
