I went into Green and Gold with cautious optimism. After reading a few reviews, I was bracing myself for another one of those sports movies - you know, the kind that takes an unexpected hard right turn into a church parking lot about 30 minutes in.

Now, let's be clear: I'm not anti-religion. But I am against false advertising. If I'm settling in for a story about grit, football, and family, I don't want to be blindsided by a sermon in the third act. I've been burned before.

This isn't one of those movies.

Green and Gold is a genuinely heartwarming look at one family's fight to stay afloat in a world that's shifting under their feet. It's about tough choices, quiet resilience, and the things that keep us rooted - love, loyalty, and legacy.

There's humor, there's heartache, and yeah, there's soul. It hits the notes without feeling preachy or manipulative. If you're into music, football, farming, or just good storytelling that respects its audience, this one's worth your time.

It's a film about doing what's right - and for once, the filmmakers do exactly that.

The originally-titled God Loves the Green Bay Packers is about more than just football (keeping simple, it's probably best they changed titles). We do get a training camp feel for the fanbase and scenes with tailgating; however, the flashbacks inspire things that are deeper than any real-time football action-farming and family. A grandfather, granddaughter, and multi-generational team bring out the charm, bring out hidden power in the making. I'd like to call this a picture on God and gambling. Perhaps that fits its faith mold too easily. Green & Gold is not a Fly Old Bird film, although you may enjoy this and Journey to the Ark differently.

"Green and Gold" is a heartfelt, Midwest-infused sports drama that blends football, family, and perseverance into a compelling underdog story. Craig T. Nelson delivers an authentic and endearing performance as a Wisconsin dairy farmer on the brink of losing his land, who makes a desperate bet that if the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl, he'll get a loan extension and a chance to save his farm. While his struggle is the film's backbone, the emotional core comes from his granddaughter, an aspiring musician whose dreams could be the family's true lifeline. The film beautifully captures small-town resilience, weaving in rich Midwestern details, Bears-Packers rivalry moments, and nostalgic nods to Brett Favre's glory days. Even as a lifelong Bears fan, I was completely drawn into the story, proving that this isn't just about football-it's about determination, sacrifice, and the power of second chances. With shades of Field of Dreams and It's a Wonderful Life, Green and Gold is a touching and inspiring film that celebrates hope and perseverance.

If you go in with the right mindset I think you would really enjoy it.

Really good human story, no agenda, no CGI or car crashes, just a story about an old school farmer who is threatened with foreclosure.

They weave a little mid-90's Packers in there (Favre, Sterling Sharpe, Reggie White, etc) but it's far from a Packers movie.

All filmed in Door County, Wisconsin, it's a beautiful depiction of life in a family farm.

I'm sure some will see it as hokey, but I really liked the human aspect of it.

Craig T Nelson does a nice job, the scenery and setting is classic rural Wisconsin. Great visuals, and the ending is heart warming!

I felt like this movie was a fun idea but just not well executed. The actors did a fine job, but the story wasn't very cohesive and felt forced. The constant Packers references were a little over the top and the story line with the daughter and the singer didn't seem to serve any purpose or have any real consequences or effects on the characters. The family dynamics didn't feel rooted in reality and the constant dialog about the purity of farming felt pandering and overdone. Farming is a modern science and I feel like this movie doesn't treat it as such. Again, I like the idea and the actors did fine, but this movie was a big miss for me.

We saw it in theaters tonight and I know I'm biased being from Wisconsin and being a die hard Packer fan myself but I believe anyone could love this film regardless of who you root for! Just a great film overall and tugs at every one of your heart strings and the acting was superb for an independent film. It helps shed light on other perspectives in different peoples life's. The ending to the movie we thought was perfect and helps bring the whole movie together and leaves you feeling like you have more faith in humanity to come together when you're at lowest in life. Great film and story. We will definitely watch again. Go Pack!

Enter the insufferable jerk, who puts himself in debt he can't pay, openly sneers at his granddaughter's hopes, dreams, and hard work and constantly puts her down (including publicly), who alienated his daughter before her death, and generally runs around sulking and growling and grumbling at everyone.

But wait! This is a Wholesome Family Film, so naturally, the insufferable jerk is actually a good guy who is more or less right as he treats his family like trash.

Never fear, though. He makes a 5-second non apology at the very end, right before she saves the day. So yay! Years of emotional abuse and lack of accountability all forgiven. And, well, he was right all along!

The only thing it had going for it was that it brought the true Wisconsin spirit, in that it was full of cheese.

If you're into mental self-flagellation, this film is for you. Otherwise, skip.

This was an incredible movie from start to finish. It was obvious that the filmmakers and actors were on the same page about making it a touching, home grown, funny, and moving film. The themes throughout the film were what we all need right now, reminding us where we came from and informs where we are going. It felt like an instant classic and shines a light on a part of this country that is easy to gloss over. The movie ties faith, football, and farming all into one beautiful story. The acting was also incredible, from the big names of Craig T Nelson, to new up and coming actors like Madison Lawlor, each scene was shot and acted really well. One of the best movies I've ever seen!

This movie is so special. I saw it today for the third time in a packed theater in Wisconsin. It warmed my heart to watch it again not only with my family, but also alongside strangers who were experiencing it for the first time. There was a well-deserved round of applause in the theater at the end. The Packers storyline is just one enjoyable part of an overall heartwarming, hopeful, and incredible film. The acting, the music, and the cinematography pull together beautifully. Every time I've seen it, I've laughed and cried and left wanting to tell more people to see it before it leaves theaters. Best movie I have seen in a very long time.

What a refreshing film for 2025! As a proud Wisconsinite it was great to see so many filming locations used that I've visited. Adding the Christian messaging was great and seeing all of the daily ups and downs of working on a farm was eye opening. Really enjoyed all of the acting especially Craig T Nelson. My father passed away 2 years ago and I know he would've loved seeing this as a teenager who worked on his family farm and a die hard Packer fan. If you enjoy movies with a great message then I hope you'll see it in the theaters. All the best towards making this a success. Thanks to the entire production in making this film.

"Green and Gold" is an absolute masterpiece that struck a deeply personal chord with me. Growing up on a small farm in the heart of Wisconsin, I was immediately transported back to my childhood-the golden fields, crisp autumn air, and the quiet resilience of rural life. The film's setting was breathtakingly authentic, but what truly captivated me was its soul-stirring story. It wasn't just nostalgia that made me love this film-it was the depth of emotion, the raw honesty of the characters, and the way it beautifully captured the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs of life in rural Wisconsin.

I came in expecting a heartfelt indie film, but what I got was so much more. The storytelling was exquisite, weaving moments of joy, heartbreak, and hope in a way that felt incredibly real. By the time the credits rolled, I was in tears-overcome by the sheer beauty of a film that not only honored the place I call home but also exceeded every expectation I had. "Green and Gold" is more than a film; it's an experience, a love letter to the Midwest, and one of the most moving pieces of cinema I've ever had the privilege of watching.*

My husband is a Hugee Packers fan, so of course we had to go see it. We traveled from another state just to watch it. Was actually an amazing movie(coming from a Dallas Cowboys fan 😉). I had my doubts watching something with the Packers as a main point but really it was part of the movie and belonged in there with the story! Had such a good message about community and people coming together for one another, which the world today definitely needs more of! It will definitely make you teary eyed! And the director showed up to our theater and thanked everyone for coming out, supporting it and talked a little bit about the show! Can't say it enough, incredible film!

I really liked this movie. It is surprisingly funny, heartwarming and authentic. I thought the acting was good. The story was interesting. Yes you can tell a little bit it is a lower budget independent film, but I don't think that brought down its quality. The cinematography was great showing the lush landscape of Door County, WI, where it was filmed. If I didn't know this was the directors first film, I would have thought he had tons of experience. The story is interesting as they shine light on the plight of the small town farmers and what narrow margins they are living in and how the hardship can push some to self deletions since they can't think of a way out of their struggle. The cost of farming is expensive, but you can tell these farmers love it and all the effort is worth it because it is more than just farming. It's communing with nature, passing on a legacy personally to family and to the wider community and even the world as what they produce is a literal basic necessity for all humans (sustenance). The relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter was great as they butt heads figuring out their future. Dreams sometimes come true and sometimes don't, but you can find meaning and purpose along the way no matter the outcome. A story of how people can help each other if they let each in.

This film was an incredible, inspiring film. Ups and downs. A true testament of the power of community and selflessness. While at the movies in Fort Collins Colorado(I'm a Wyoming resident but had to travel to see the film) the director showed up and spoke to the audience and expressed his gratitude to the patrons and expressed his absolute joy in making the film. I've suggested to everyone I know, whether packer fans or not, to go and watch this film. It's heartfelt and just a joy to watch. This film is a true testament to the struggles of middle American farmers and their quest to keep things natural and unadulterated.

What a beautiful, beautiful storyline. Had me mesmerized from the beginning. The scenery was gorgeous. Makes me want to visit Wisconsin. I'm a Michigan girl so this looks amazing. God is good. Actors were perfectly cast. Each brought love and life to their roles. I laughed and cried. Kept me intrigued throughout. I'm always snubbing Hollyweird for their shameful swearing and non real life stories. Thank you Culver's for supporting real life movies. Thank you Angel Studios and Guild Members. Give it a watch you won't regret it. And leave your own review to let others know not to miss this great movie. Highly recommend.
