Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 02/06/2020
Dramatically speaking, despite its loftier ambitions, "Goalie" remains stuck in the neutral zone. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 01/29/2020
The pic attempts to cover all the biographical bases of Sawchuk's life, to an exhaustive but ultimately superficial degree. Go to Full Review
Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail 03/01/2019
3.5/4
Director Maggs tells a tough, sympathetic story in an imaginative way that makes Goalie feel like a war story. Go to Full Review

3/5
Like all good sports movies Goalie isn't about scores or stats, it's about what drives the players to push themselves, to be warriors or be worthless. Go to Full Review

6/10
There's nothing terribly wrong with Goalie. It's well-structured, handsomely shot, and features some impressive acting. The thing is there's just not that much to make it stand out from the crowd either. Go to Full Review
Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 02/01/2020
At the heart of Goalie is a tragic tale worth telling, but unfortunately the film, despite its best intentions, fails to do it justice. Go to Full Review

03/04/2021 I grew up a Detroit Red Wings fan and even did a school report on this guy so... I thought it was pretty good. See more steve d 06/21/2020 The film can not find a way to tell an interesting story. It's sad but it's subject deserves so much better. See more 05/17/2020 It was OK, the story-line and all, but totally fake when showing the on-ice scenes... As for the performance of the actors, some of them had a hard time to even pretend that they can actually skate and what goes towards the equipment, for one, there were no plastic blade holders in 1950s... The uniforms featured fake team logos, but I guess that it was because NHL did not approve the use of actual ones... Too bad... Off-ice was far better... So, overall not too great, when I compare it (for example) with "The Rocket: Maurice Richard Story, but overall, I am thankful for any hockey-related movie... See more @mawilps 05/09/2020 This sports biography is really good. Mark O'Brien, Kevin Pollak, Georgina Reilly, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This true story about the legendary goaltender Terry Sawchuk was very dramatic. He went through some tough times during his childhood and career and that can put a lot of pressure on someone. But he managed to get through them and became a hockey legend in the process. I would definitely recommend this movie. It's a must see. Ignore what the most of the critics are saying about this movie. They have bad tastes in movies and they also can't see why this is a great movie. See more 03/22/2020 Great movie, wish they used the real nhl jerseys though See more Richard 02/10/2020 Didnt go because I booked the wrong day. See more Read all reviews
