A story about people rather than just one a team going for the win. In doing so, O'Connor makes Miracle one of the more thoughtful and enjoyable films revolving around sports.

Reviews for Miracle
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.

Miracle capitalizes on its understanding of team dynamics: the bonding of pain and gain alike, the ownership of integrity over ego, the satisfaction of communal accomplishment. [Blu-ray]

This isn't anyone's finest hour.

Russell is at his understated best in the film, which stands as a living tribute to Coach Herb Brooks.

This inspirational, rough and tumble, profanity-free testament to ingenuity also touches on the conflicts between work ethics and domestic responsibility.

A complex portrait of a man, and Kurt Russell delivers a major performance as that man.
07/18/08
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.

Esquemático em toda a narrativa, é apenas mais um exemplo inferior do gênero "azarão-com-espírito-de-vencedor".

Believe in the greatness of Kurt Russell.

While I don't like the way it simplifies history, I have to admit that Miracle is a hugely effective crowd-pleaser.
03/05/05
[It takes] a wonderful story and transforms it into by-the-numbers entertainment that doesn't show us anything new about hockey or this historic event.
12/31/04
It's not too hokey, not politically correct, not a mass of chewy, Disney-fried steak, not even a miracle -- it's just good storytelling.
09/16/04
The best sports movie I've ever seen.
09/15/04
Captures all the excitement of U.S. hockey win.
06/04/04
Invaluable proof that nothing can save a hackneyed screenplay
05/07/04
You're glad that Brooks and his team have received the big-screen treatment that their story seems ideal for. But it's sad to see their excellence revisited in such a mediocre movie.
05/01/04
Everything about this movie is painfully stock.
