This is the perfect movie to watch on an airplane, which I just did. A feel good underdog story about some Welsh people who breed a racehorse that wins big (they each get $1000 making them the wealthiest people in all of Wales.)
Will MenakerMay 20, 2021"If you lot are good enough to own a bloody race horse, then so am I." Well, sea my biscuits, if it isn’t a Dream Horse! Every couple of years we get a breakout feel-good Euro-film, and it looks like Dream Horse is this year’s contender. Fun, warm and lovable with a…

A dense communist text.
stevieMay 31, 2026“I need something to look forward to when I get up in the morning; to remind me that things can change.” I’ve missed seeing Toni Collette in a film, and horses are gorgeous, majestic animals. Plus, I love the accents! On top of all that, this is a true story…so watching…

🌻 lindsay 🌻Apr 4, 2023There is something just so lovely about this movie. The small town. Toni Collette looking for a reason to wake up each morning. These inspirational community-coming-together type movies always hit the spot for me.

Welsh director Euros Lyn’s reality-based steeple-chasing feature Dream Horse never deviates far from the expected course. But its off-kilter humour and an ace cast, led by the ever-credible Toni Collette, brings some fresh colours to this unabashed crowd pleaser.

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

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.
