THE GRIZZLIES – Review by Susan Wloszczyna

The Grizzlies, about a real-life lacrosse team of Inuit high-schoolers in a small Arctic town in Canada, has much more at stake than just winning or losing. It’s about living rather than dying in a colonized community where a diamond mine is the main source of income and few opportunities exist for the marginalized indigenous people who reside there. Drugs and alcoholism are rampant as are domestic abuse and teen suicides.

THE GRIZZLIES – Review by Loren King

August 6, 2020August 9, 2020 Loren King 0 Comments Ben Schnetzer, canadian films., emerald macdonald, inuit, miranda de pencier, Movie of the Week, the grizzlies, will sasso

From the opening title sequence featuring vintage photos of the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic, The Grizzlies is rich in cultural specificity and in an atmosphere that’s both gritty and beautiful. The remote Canadian town is bleak and barren save for a few desolate shacks where kids with no futures commit suicide at alarming rates and where adults regularly pass out drunk on sagging sofas.
