Atom User Reviews for The Senior
I am living my story now after I was used and trashed. No one care about me. This movie gave me powerful hope but still no one cares about me.
Wonderful movie, we laughed, we cried, we also cried tears of joy, the movie is very inspiring especially it's message of the power of forgiveness and reconciliation!
Feel good moxie of the year!!!

Enjoyable. A Lifetime movie for football fans.

This was a really sweet movie about some important themes that a lot of people in our society can relate to. I do want to give a warning that there is some father son related tension around fighting and violence. There also is a mild christian religion element. I like…
Awesome movie! Funny and tugs at your heart stings. Inspirational as well!
great movie. the character was a great mentor and showed by example.
Every Football team, sports team, and team everywhere should take their teams to see this movie. To watch an unbelievable dream come true nearly 4 decades after it first came into fruition was so amazing. No one can ever tell you that you can't because until you have given…
I absolutely loved it!
Inspirational movie. Gives us hope!
The movie was great. Really makes you reflect on your own life. Would recommend that everyone sees this movie.
it was a good Sunday movie and I would not have chosen it if I had to pay 16 plus for it.
Encouraging story that is a must see for anyone! I heard about this but never realized how hard he really worked!
Very inspiring story. It's definitely a must-see for families with older kids....
Inspired by true events
Nice moral of the story
Inspiring, family friendly
Love the story!
Incredibly heartwarming, feel good story. Made for a fantastic date night with my wife who has no interest in football, but truly enjoyed the storyline.
It’s an inspirational film, but my heart was pounding at the training sessions. It’s a lot for an 59 year old high school senior
Such an inspiration to us all. My kids are in taekwondo and we had a full discussion about perseverance and pushing through!
It was nice movie..
Me and my family loved the movie it was a great story about one man's perseverance we laughed we cried it was all around great.
Just came back from seeing this, my husband and I absolutely loved it. Fantastic storyline, great acting and not one curse word in the entire movie! Highly recommend this.
Great story of overcoming an abusive father and childhood. Finally realizing it was time to break that family cycle. Working towards a 35 year old dream to play his last year of football eligibility at the age of 59. Overcoming the jokes, taunts, injuries, a son he had…
Life lesson to be learned
The story is kinda predictable and has pacing issue but not bad just a solid movie
STRONG. Never Give Up! Never. Fight. Fight. Fight Good stuff.
This was an inspiring movie with a great story line.
It was inspiring how hard Mike worked through injury, age, and regret to reach his dream. It was a great example of a marriage where spouses support each other. He was a mentor of his younger teamates through encouragement.
A good story brought to the screen. A good job done by Michael Chiklis in his portrayal of Michael Flynn.
A wonderful reminder that second chances are possible. It’s never too late! Trust and believe.
Great movie, hard to watch the flashbacks in his younger days. Gives you hope that you should never give up. Thanks for the tickets.
Finally a good feel movie with no cussing. My husband and I enjoyed it very much. Grateful for the person who paid it forward!
This was an inspirational movie that was a tear jerker for my wife. Overall it was amazing. Another great film!
Love it. Great cast and the story flowed well. 0 Hot Tub Time Machines however
This movie is inspiring and motivational. Age isn't just a number; you can do anything you put your mind to. As a 41-year-old woman trying to join the military, this movie gave me hope.
Maybe the best movie I have seen all year.
Good movie. Positive messages. Uplifting true story.
Love the message of redemption and reconciliation.
This movie was based on a true story, which made it very compelling. While the story was rather predictable, it was still very good to watch. The actors were wonderfully cast and did an excellent job making the audience care about the characters. The main topics are…
Thank you, Atom, for the free movie!
An inspirational come back story with an amazing cast. Our family loved it!
Metacritic
For an hour or so, director Lurie tackles the tropes lightly as we see lots of football practices, and a few games, and not a lot of anything else. And it plays, helped by the fact that the formidable Masterson doesn’t need a lot of script to get across a flinty “West Texas Gal.”
Lurie is especially good at the narrative and character elements of the practice and game scenes, using them to move the story forward and build to the kind of resolution we look for in underdog sports stories with compelling emotional stakes.
At its heart, The Senior is about forgiveness and second chances.
