The Grizzlies Ratings & Reviews
Catholic News Service
Hosea Rupprecht
Director Miranda de Pencier's fact-based sports drama tells a story of hope amid rampant despair.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
This is a film that could have gone wrong in so many ways, yet in so many ways it goes right.
Decider
Scott Hines
A gripping sports movie worthy of its place in that canon.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
As Russ, Ben Schnetzer expresses the perfect balance of dismay and determination, listening and learning, connecting to these beleaguered teenagers, most appearing for the first time in a film, handling humor and serious events with equal skill.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
The film works, mostly for its exposure of an off-the-radar area and situation; stick around for the end credits that let you know where the characters' real-life counterparts wind up.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Imagine a cross between The Bad News Bears with Whale Rider.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Its intentions are pure, but this crowd-pleasing Canadian sports drama can't muster a winning formula amid some overly familiar tropes.
Impressionist Media
Brigid Presecky
From excellent Emmy-winning writers Moira Walley-Beckett and Graham Yost comes The Grizzlies, a true sports story that is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"The Grizzlies" doesn't pander to the audience. It offers them a touching, raw nerve look at survival, friendship, and the healing power of optimism and opportunity.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
Though it's a familiar plot about kids learning discipline and teamwork through sports, The Grizzlies is brought to life through the specifics that make the characters and their sense of place -- and of displacement -- central to the story.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Powerful Canadian sports drama promotes understanding.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Inspiring true story of an Inuit lacrosse team who transform themselves and their community.
Variety
Courtney Howard
It's exactly the type of uplifting movie that could boost spirits during these bleak times.
Film Inquiry
Bree Duwyn
The film hosts a plethora of well-constructed young characters with genuine ambition and an authenticity that breaks and warms the heart all at once.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Each player's personal story and breakthrough is explored with sensitivity and empathy and their hard-won triumphs are sweet. But this is no sentimental journey - its tough and real and fired by that thing we all have inside - hope.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Bracingly unsentimental and transcendently moving at the same time.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The Grizzlies is more than the typical inspiring sports drama because this film offers us hope.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the screenwriters' ongoing efforts at balancing the story's multitude of feel-good and gritty elements generally fall fairly flat.
