Films like MVP are made for numerous reasons. One: It brings awareness to serious issues. Two: It puts a specific and important program at the forefront. Three: It lets veterans know that there is more of them out there going through the same thing. Go to Full Review

McRae and Boyer turn in passionate performances as two sides of the same situational coin. Boyer communicates, as a storyteller, the conflicts of trying to assimilate back to society after an experience that can't be duplicated again. W/Boyer interview. Go to Full Review

MVP is a bit flawed in its approach but has enough components to make the film worthwhile. It's a heartfelt, inspirational film that many can watch and be motivated from. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
As a directorial debut, it's a solid effort. You could do a lot worse than a thoughtful story with a clear point of view and a great, well-acted relationship at its core. But it still could have used another round of edits. Go to Full Review

Garry A @heavyg Dec 16 Suicide isn't an easy subject to navigate in a movie but it's done well here. Everyone copes differently with pain. The actors here did a good job of conveying what can look like in any given person and how people can flourish with the right support person. See more CJ J 08/07/2024 This is a veteran must see! See more 05/30/2024 MVP was a really beautiful and powerful film that really went low under the radar. Here we are in 2024 and I'm just now finding out about the film which was released in 2022. Nate Boyer who directed and stars in this film does a great job in front and behind the camera. The acting from the supporting cast is also pretty decent. This is a story that needs to be told about Veterans in the military and also Vererans from a professional sport who are finding it difficult living civilian lives after their profession. The film tackles fighting with suicide, post traumatic stress, brotherhood, family, and getting help. Loved to see a lot of cameos in this film from the NFL. Loved the title of this film as it stands for Merging Vets and players. The movie takes it time with the story it wants to tell and has a very powerful ending. MVP gets a very high rating of 4 stars out of 5. See more KB B @Okbullard 03/10/2024 It was entertaining and worth the watch. See more D L 06/15/2023 Very personal film and well made See more Corocote L 05/20/2023 Mo McCrae gives an incendiary illuminating performance in a tale of lost meaning and reclaimed values. Veterans, professional athletes and anyone searching for the previous motivation and values that have been lost will find deep substance in this emotional drama. See more Read all reviews
