| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe connection between the sport and tribal traditions is compelling, but eventually the film drowns amid a slew of underdog cliches. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt has charm and a refreshing cultural perspective, but the predictability is often too much to bear, tanking the potential for a proper big screen exploration of lacrosse. |
| Dallas Morning NewsDavid MartindaleThe film clearly targets a niche audience of lacrosse enthusiasts. But it also works on a broader scale, because well-executed David-vs.-Goliath sports stories like this have universal appeal. |
| Epoch TimesMark JacksonIt's a warm-hearted little movie. It may have a ton of Native American cinematic clichés-dream sequences with staccato wooden flutes, soaring eagles, and so on-but it works. |
| Boston GlobeLoren KingThe story is unique and engaging enough to transcend the uplifting sports-underdog formula. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThis attempt at a drama is pretty routine, but it demonstrates why some clichés became clichés: because they work. [It's] basically The Bad News Bears without all of the humor, though the tone is still fairly light. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe lack of anything distinctive in execution or performance makes the film instantly forgettable. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierAs the team gets in shape, a hot new ringer is brought in and the fallen son redeems himself - and director Steve Rash's movie wins us over. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekWhile 'Crooked Arrows' certainly isn't a good film by any objective standard, it has a good heart, and proves far more tolerable than many blockbuster sports movies. |
| SlateJohn SwansburgThe plucky underdog Native American lacrosse movie I never knew I wanted. |
