Cavalo de Sonho

Underdog sports movies are always crowd-pleasers, and this one doesn't disappoint.

Toni Collette takes on racing establishment in incredible true story.

...sit back, let your resting pulse rate slow to an easy Acorn crawl, and watch Collette and Co.'s sweetly scrappy dream come true.

...sparked by Toni Collette, there is a strong sense of sincerity and commitment to the subject matter that helps it across the finishing line.

...the film is shamelessly predictable and thoroughly feelgood.

Yes, it’s schmaltzy, very schmaltzy, but with strong performances by Toni Collette and Damian Lewis the odds are that you’ll love it.

Toni Collette produces a turn that Euros Lyn’s film, about a Welsh racehorse that brought success to an ex-mining village, doesn’t deserve.

Racetrack tale’s uplifting story, heartwarming moments and beautiful scenery pay off in a big way.
