(Photo by Daniele Badolato - Juventus FC/Juventus FC via Getty Images) Juventus FC via Getty ImagesFor one very obvious injury-related reason, we have not seen much of Dusan Vlahovic much lately. Although, the last time Juventus actually played on their home field, Vlahovic was unsurprisingly looking rather stylish and then celebrating Pierre Kalulu’s game-tying goal just outside the tunnel at the Allianz Stadium like a mad man. Vlahovic has reportedly kept the door open for a potential return to Juventus despite the fact that there haven’t been any significant contract talks lately. So, as you can see, he’s not necessarily down to just renewing with Juventus because there’s potentially nowhere else to go.

It has received mixed reviews from critics, with The Telegraph describing it as “more like a glum Spice World than the next Spinal Tap”, referring to the 1997 comedy film about the Spice Girls, and calling it a “messy exercise in self-consciousness”, awarding it two out of five stars. The review read: “Though billed as a mockumentary, The Moment, also directed by Zamiri, is less Spinal Tap and more Black Swan, a ragged, borderline horror film of cracking under the pressure of getting what you want. The review read: “Sadly, the mockumentary Zamiri’s film most resembles — at times, eerily so — is Spice World: The Movie. The Moment was released in US cinemas on January 30, and is released in UK cinemas on Friday.
