Bigger Than the Game

Solid sports drama that faces the realities of life without stealing any hope from its audience. Definitely a great watch for more than just fans of basketball.

Heartfelt and realistic portrayal of a coach, his players and their families dealing with the challenges in their lives. This film has a Christian bent to it, but is not simplistic in its messaging, it's relatable to the struggles of the main characters and rings true for the audience.

The young people on the team were down to earth emotional teenagers, not caricatures in any way, and were all very relatable. I think often times films dealing with similar themes tend to portray kids as one note, but that wasn't the case in this film, there was a lot of restraint by the filmmakers which allowed the drama to unfold in a natural and unforced manner.

Production value, cinematography and a pretty hip contemporary score kept the movie moving along with plenty of unforeseen twists along the road.

Check out this cool little sports themed movie about a Coach who pushes with heavenly grace his team of basketball players to a national championship. The stuff the diverse kids go though is inspirational and WARRIOR PRIDE is something the whole family could watch and take away a few life lessons. What first grabbed me about this faith driven melodrama about Coach's drive to the basket of redemption was how well the production value was. Typically some of these low budget films from nowhere you have to suffer through some tough situations to focus on the story but WARRIOR PRIDE took this sports/faith themed movie to the House and made a slam dunk with me! Good job 4 stars!

This film is a real gem of indie filmmaking. Magnificent acting which really carries the story. I didn't know much about basketball, that didn't diminish the fun watching it. To the contrary. I believe Janaya Black is really a director to watch out for!

WOW. This movie is incredible! I am not quite sure where to start, but let me say this film really transcends 'indie filmmaking' and feels like a huge Hollywood movie and that has to be because of the cast and size (in feeling) of this story. I also did not know much about High School basketball, but I was blown away by the performances, found the underlying message of overcoming adversity through perseverance to be a universal one, and really was charmed by this gem of a film. Highly Recommend!
