Critics Consensus

The Miracle Season has a worthy real-life story to tell, but one-dimensional characters and aggressively maudlin storytelling undercut any emotional uplift.

You want emotion? See if you can handle this inspirational sports drama, whose every scene is calculated to make young hearts explode.

The Miracle Season is pleasantly swift, but in a quest for ruthless efficiency, a few character beats are skipped.

This movie goes for the heartstrings and tear ducts more than the sports-conscious. The results are pretty mixed.

Rated: 2.5/4

In the end, nonetheless, this salute to Line's legacy offers uplifting entertainment suitable for a broad audience.

Third Coast Review

It's really easy to wonder why the filmmakers didn't attempt a well-structured documentary rather than crank up every manipulative, overly sentimental dial in their arsenal to give us a beat-for-beat re-enactment of what is clearly a heartfelt story.

People say this movie is too emotional but the people that the movie is about have said the real story was even more dramatic than the movie. It's sad that critics especially do not like movies like this. They like dysfunction, sex & violence and messed up people. This movie won't give you that. It will touch you, inspire you and make you feel extreme loss & how to overcome it. Caroline Found's story is amazing. HBO real sports did a great story on the Found's and the strength of Dr. Found is inspiring after losing both Line & his wife of pancreatic cancer within 2 weeks of each other. In todays world where many kids are treated like mini adults, it was refreshing to see a true story of Midwestern values and love and acceptance that even 11 years later is still touching people. Their FB page still gets hits and letters sent to the coach and the foundation which is still going strong today. I watch it at least once a year.
