It's puzzling to watch someone present her own life in terms of cliché. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Does Gracie work as a movie? Just close enough, and closer still for a young soccer player who may already know her sports movie clichés but also recognizes when they touch on something once and truly... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's a trite, indifferently told underdog sports story that could only have been redeemed by perfect execution. full review
