Review of Beartownįirst things first – Beartown is the coming-of-age story of the junior ice hockey team on a quest to compete in the national semi-finals. What makes them so classic is the painstaking detail in which each character is developed and each sentence is structured to tell an interwoven story that, at the end of the day, is about the complexity of humanity.
