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.

This is the kind of film that deserves an audience.

Third Coast Review

Rotten

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.

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 an inspirational sports film with enough heart to win the game.

Emotionally driven drama that hits due to connecting you to the character who passes and then focuses on the effects it has on her team.

Tragic loss rocks, then inspires team in true sports story.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Miracle Season is an inspiring, fact-based sports drama about a high school volleyball team left reeling by their captain's unexpected death in an accident. Her death isn't shown -- nor is that of her beloved mother from cancer shortly thereafter -- but the impact these two losses have on the movie's other characters could be upsetting for younger/sensitive viewers. But other than that and a little bit of chaste kissing between teens, the movie is squeaky clean: There's no strong language, no fights, and no drinking or drugs. And it's full of positive role models and worthy messages about perseverance, teamwork, and finding positive ways to remember and honor those you've lost. Erin Moriarty, William Hurt, and Helen Hunt co-star.
