DREAM HORSE

While many of us tend to associate Sundance with darker and more indie-feeling fare, I had the pleasure of seeing Euros Lyn’s heartwarming DREAM HORSE (trailer here) at Sundance 2020, and it’s now out for everyone to watch! Based on a true story, the film is about a group of neighbors in a small Welsh town who decide to invest in a race horse. While the film has a relatively predictable sports-movie structure, I still found myself getting teary as the horse begins to win races and climb the ranks—and the racing sequences are gorgeously shot, too. If horses aren’t your thing, the film is also anchored by the ever-likeable Toni Collette and Damian Lewis. And it’s only rated PG, so it’s a great family quar watch!
