Dream Horse's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Like horse racing, filmmaking is a high-risk gamblers' game, but the team behind Dream Horse, the resulting dramatization of the Vokes' story, have surely bred a winner with this endearing, determinedly crowd-pleasing adaptation.
Screen Daily
Director Euros Lyn overdoes the feel-good trappings, but it?s hard to deny the genuine sentiment that the movie stirs up.
Slashfilm
The script doesn?t add anything new to the sports movie formula ? you can see every major plot development coming from the stratosphere ? but Lyn?s execution of those ideas powers the movie through its predictable plotting.
Variety
This is a well-cast, artfully handled effort that exercises sufficient restraint to really earn its requisite laughter and tears.
