#REVIEW: “THE MIRACLE SEASON”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
The Miracle Season is based on the true story of best friends quietĀ KellyĀ (Erin Moriarty) and fearlessĀ Caroline āLineā FoundĀ (Danika Yarosh) who have done everything together since they were children. Now in high school, the two are on the volleyball team whereĀ CarolineĀ is the setter. One night after leaving a volleyball gathering,Ā CarolineĀ leaves on a moped to see visit cancer stricken mother in the hospital. On her way she gets hit by a car and dies. To honour their best friendās early passing,Ā KellyĀ and the rest of the volleyball team try to win the first ever consecutive state volleyball championship.
The Film shows the effect thatĀ CarolineĀ had on everyone she came in contact with and how those people chose to give back to her after her death. It has many themes such as friendship, familial love and determination. Itās also an underdog story becauseĀ KellyĀ who was the volleyball player that was pushed to the side, but then becomes the setter. Yet, the Film has an unnecessary love story that feels forced. The Film works best as an experiment in grief. Every character has a different level of grief and works through their grief differently. This could easily turn into a soap opera butĀ Director Sean McNamaraĀ takes great care to root this grief into reality. And the entire Cast of actors show heartbreaking, raw emotion.
The standout isĀ William HurtĀ as Carolineās father,Ā Ernie. Using subtle movements and bursting acts of passion he projects Ernieās pain onto the audience. Then thereāsĀ MoriartyĀ who emphasizes withĀ KellyĀ and delves into the darkest parts of grief, resulting in a heart-rendering performance from the upcoming actress.Ā Helen HuntĀ is also great as tough volleyball coach,Ā Kathy Bersnahan. She plays the opposites of whoĀ KathyĀ is: the tough coach that pushes her athletes to their limits and is desperate to win the first ever consecutive state volleyball championship, and also the grieving teacher who was inspired and touched by the full-of-lifeĀ Caroline.
Overall, The Miracle Season works best as a study of grief and pays tribute to the tragic death ofĀ a talent gone far too soob, Caroline āLineā Found.
Elevation Pictures releaseĀ THE MIRACLE SEASONĀ on Friday, April 6, 2018.
