ALSO OPENING

Set in 1978, this fact-based tale — inspired by the experiences of “Leaving Las Vegas” star Elisabeth Shue — focuses on a teenager (Carly Schroeder) who overcomes gender barriers to play competitive soccer at a time when girls’ teams did not exist. Andrew Shue (Elisabeth’s brother), Dermot Mulroney and Emma Bell co-star for Shue’s husband, director Davis Guggenheim (“An Inconvenient Truth”). At multiple locations. (92 min.) PG-13; brief sexual content.

OFFSIDE

Soccer also provides the backdrop for Iranian director Jafar Panahi, whose latest follows die-hard female fans who disguise themselves in hopes of catching the action in a World Cup qualifier between the national teams from Bahrain and Iran — because the game is being played in a Tehran stadium where women aren’t allowed. In Persian, with English subtitles. At the Suncoast. (99 min.) PG; profanity.

THE VALET

French farce master Francis Veber (“La Cage aux Folles,” “The Dinner Game”) returns with this tale of a restaurant parking valet (Gad Elmaleh) hired by a French business tycoon (Daniel Auteuil) to squire his supermodel mistress (Alice Taglioni) so his canny wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) won’t catch on to his infidelity. In French with English subtitles. At Village Square. (83 min.) PG-13; sexual content, profanity.
