In order to play lacrosse, these kids are making significant sacrifices, and some of those will catch up with them, and all of those will define them. 'The Grizzlies' might be incredibly tacky to the point that I sometimes even rolled my eyes, but the heart of this story absolutely shines through. It really loses its way when it tries to be an inspirational sports drama, but when it focuses on the Inuit community, its people, and the troubles they face, this film gives you every reason to smile and even shed a tear. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-grizzlies-freedom-writers-meets-mighty-ducks
