Rise

This is a really incredible story about some amazing athletes . The production value and film itself was not great - it felt slow and long at some points and didn't do a great job with many of the actual basketball elements .

I loved to learn more about the family , thought the dynamic in the family was great , worth a watch with the family as it is a feel good classic Disney sports movie that will leave you feeling inspired .

This movie was great I loved hearing the story of the Antetkounmpo family. This story was amazing and so inspiring. I love this movie do much and recommend it to all.

... Greek and proud as f for this family and if I weren't a sports fan, I would think that it was a terrible movie.

Everything screams Disney from miles away.

The colors, the light, the filming were so off-putting. Acting was barely OK, dialogues were cheesy AF, no wonder the last 2 minutes with the real footage and the story of the family were the highlight.

A missed opportunity, but don't get me wrong, Yannis and his family wanted to do this and I hope it inspires a lot of kids around the world (who probably can't afford Disney+ but that's another story) RIP Charles, it was nice to hear your story.

And I love, love real rags to riches stories.

It's Disney. It's cheesy and if you don't follow basketball then you probably don't care.

If I didn't love this family and what they did, I probably wouldn't care either. Excited to watch a more gritty and real documentary on this.

But this is perfect to watch with my 5 year old as we talk about persistence and perseverance.

Rise is a solid drama based on the Antetokounmpo brothers that made it through refugee discrimination, a broken home and the constant fear of deportation to all being in the NBA. It's straight-forward and has a great tone of discipline, courage and dedication.
