Green and Gold

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!

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!

"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.*

"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.

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.
