What to Know

Critics Consensus

Gracie can be rousing and touching in spots, but is ultimately undone by its predictable story arc and a lack of nuance.

Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Mark Holcomb Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Claudia Puig USA Today It's too bad that Gracie's story seems bent on staying on the surface of such familiar turf, rather than digging deeper to reveal what propels her. Rated: 2/4 Sep 1, 2007 Full Review Brandy McDonnell The Oklahoman The reason these formulaic films work is they give sports fans what we want: a hard-working underdog we can root for and a sense that the sports we love have some deeper meaning. Rated: 3/4 Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Heather Boerner Common Sense Media Gritty girl soccer drama with a powerful message. Rated: 4/5 Dec 18, 2010 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express When you wake up after napping through this earnest timewaster, you'll feel relieved, but you won't know why. Here's a clue: Gracie can't bend it. May 5, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 37 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review steve d sad but often heartwarming. Some strong performances including from its young star help it along. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie for young girls to look up to Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Gracie is a very well-done sports movie, as well as being a successful drama. Schroeder is a very talented actress, and Shue is great. A lot of aspects of soccer players' lives is showcased here: the vigorous training; the dedication to the game; and the thrill of play. The overall message: if you're dedicated to something enough, you can get better and enjoy life. And the best part about this movie: it was filmed in my town! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Some thinking has gone into this movie making it moving and emotional as the girls are sidelined. The photography is intrusive into the characters as they fight for their position. Script entitles the actors to carve out the raw emotion that kicks against the heels of life as equality gets a bashing. The only thing that lifts this from the other formulated dribble is the girl. Nibbles: Protein Shake. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member un film che ho visto di notte con la babiola. fa ridere un pochino ma nel complesso è trash. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
