Green and Gold

"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.

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!

"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.*

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!

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.
