Members of an all-Native girls lacrosse team try to prove the game is their rightful inheritance, putting more than just a championship on the line.

Ann-Derrick Gaillot

Bitch Media

Keepers of the Game is a deeply emotional film that achieves what only the best sports movies do: showing how sports can build communities and individuals up to resist the woes the rest of society throws at them.

Reel Talk Online

It's slow-moving and just minimally engaging, even its most emotional scenes.

Even if its trajectory hews to a well-worn format, "Keepers of the Game" is as strong an argument that can be made for the rich emotional rewards of schoolgirls hitting the field to show everyone and themselves what they can achieve.
