Marit Risto F Have wached it many times, and will do it again. With great gusto Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Karl N I absolutely loved this movie. Wonderful story, beautifully told. Excellent acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member I’m not much of a sports enthusiast but this definitely had me glued to the screen wanting to know how the incredible story of this horse changed so much This is mostly too about the humanity surrounding this animal Long but a very good historical sports drama over 20 years later Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review ThirdEchelon This is one of my favorite films. It's got a lot of meaning to it, other than just winning. It's about perseverance and will, not just excellence. The music is so inspirational and fitting to the cinematography. And who doesn't love watching one of the beautiful creatures on Earth... The horse. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Tina L This was a beautiful movie and it was so well told! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review JIMMY K My wife and I viewed this movie recently. We liked it. Yes, it dragged a bit at times, but not in a distracting way. The cast was excellent! The track racing scenes were wonderful. If you love and support Thoroughbred racing, this is a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
