The Grizzlies

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.

I stumbled across this movie on Netflix under hidden gems section. Simply put, definitely a gem. Great acting, great story, and a great watch.

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.

At first I was a little "Another white guy saves the natives, fantastic" but the story was engaging and the acting was very good, and the cinematography was just great, and I soon got over my initial concerns. Having worked in the Arctic for a few years I think it was a realistic view of the land and it's people (although in the beginning I wondered if it was going to be a typical and oft-told tale of problems in the Native world from an outsiders POV) but it went past that, into the actual characters, people that I cared about. I liked the story and the ending, and the sign at the end is exactly what would happen in the native village I spent time in, and it was wonderful! (no spoilers here, just go watch the movie!) LOVED the end.
