The Grizzlies

One of the best sports movies I've seen in years. Never thought I could be so invested in a film about lacrosse, but then The Grizzlies is a rare film with a big heart.

It felt both tragic and heartwarming. I was completely transported into that little part of Canada and Inuit culture. The characters felt authentic and the scenery hard to look away from.

I thought it did a great job of acknowledging challenges facing Inuit and First Nations people both past and present. It was as much a cultural lesson for me as it was heartwarming film based on true events.

I felt invested in the plight of each character and felt quite connected to each of them by the end of the film. It was this connection that caused me to be pretty damn emotional at times!

Highly recommend.

Truly left speechless after the credits rolled on screen. Had no idea this was based on a true story. Send chills down my spine. I cried, laughed, and was shocked. Astonishing performance by the actors. This film deserves so much more exposure than it has gotten. 9/10

A Canadian production I assume make it less popular. Haven't been watched such a inspirational movie based on a true story that telling us life is full of hope. No matter how challenging it's, keep the belief and neglect how the end result will be, the process matters. It totally move my heart.

This movie was fantastic, the story was great, well made , good acting , extremely important message and kept you into it start to finish .

The most important line of the movie is when Miranda tells Russ " it's not about you". The main complaint many will have with this film is the idea of another movie about a "white savior". At first glance it presents that way, but if you know coaching you know the truth lies in Miranda's words and the story is about the kids on the team and how they saved themselves .

I currently coach a high school program and I can assure you that as hard as I might work I do very little , in the end I am the one learning , the kids do everything . You can't force kids to work or to want it that comes from within and I thought this showed that in a brilliant way .

Thoughts provoking and inspiring .

Definitely an important movie for Canadians to see. Really helps put the Indigenous youth crisis in perspective. I cried, but laughed even more. The young actors were absolutely authentic and did such a great job. Hats off to the makers of this film for making something so real and important.
