Reviews for Miracle
A manipulative feel-good sports movie but we challenge you to hold the cheers back during the movie's cool finale.
02/06/04
This hockey movie scores, thanks to director Gavin O'Connor's ability to skate that fine line between inspirational and melodramatic and achieve a satisfying balance.
02/06/04
A heartwarming tearjerker that'll melt even the staunchest anti-American.
02/09/04
The movie brings the audience back to 1980 with bone-crunching verisimilitude.
02/06/04
[The] story proves too perfect for even a ham-handed Hollywood movie like this one to screw up
02/05/04
The film is built on textbook cliches ... But each is delivered with such precision and professionalism, they become exhilarating.
02/05/04
Top CriticThe miracle is making a sports movie that turns the usual cliches into something authentic.
02/06/04
The film is about the moment of victory, and what a beautiful moment it was.

If you like – or at least don’t mind – ice hockey, then hang on for a great story, skilfully filmed.
02/06/04
Like all great sports movies, 'Miracle' is less a study of a competitive contest than it is a character analysis. And ho-hum, another great performance by Kurt Russell.
02/27/04
The first truly good movie of the year.
02/05/04
Top CriticA worthy ride, especially if you're into sports.
02/06/04
Top CriticMiracle puts audiences on the Olympic ice, sharing the once-in-a-lifetime action.
02/09/04
A thrilling character study but only an average action flick.
02/05/04
Top CriticGuilty pleasure or not - this has all the stuff that the Movie Chicks like about movies. It captures all the excitement of one of the great sports stories of all time.
02/06/04
Miracle boasts a batch of lively supporting characters, and the on-ice action is both fast and furious.
02/05/04
Kurt Russell is perfect as hockey coach Herb Brooks in a true story that still manages to be rousing and inspirational despite its inherent predictability.
12/20/05
Hockey fans should enjoy the movie, as will fans of the underdog.
02/06/04
Even if you don't know a "blue line from a clothes line," "Miracle" is a thoroughly enjoyable film that unspools like a Robert Altman movie where many characters' individual essences are revealed at once.
