I thought this movie was great. Dakota and Kurt were great together. I loved the popsicle part when Cale would feed Sonya Dor popsicles. That was funny. The movie was great.... Full review

This is the movie for horse lovers. It's terribly sad, yet terribly happy. The fact that it's inspired by a true story makes it all the better.... Full review

But the world of horses, trainers, owners, breeders, farms, ranches, horse facilities and sport medicine all combine to make a tense but enjoyable family film.....This is an amazingly well-cast movie.....The story and acting is simple, no "Seabiscuit" scenes of glory here.....Working with the actors and dynamics of a horse movie are well presented behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera..... ...

By getting so much out of the little moments, it manages to join the ranks of delightful horse dramas such as "Black Beauty," "The Black Stallion," and....Where most children's films only bother with the surface, "Dreamer" wants more.....This is one solid cast -....maybe your cynical side will have you balking at the movie's sappier moments....Gone was the aggravating wise-beyond-her-years act, replaced by an honest performance in a role.... ...

The film looks great with high production values and solid cinematography by Fred Murphy ("Secret Window"). All the characters are familiar, the story is familiar, but it is well-constructed and the actors do a good job with the material. ... Full Review

PopMatters
The bond between Cale and Sonya changes everyone's lives, including the film's oddest convert, the handsome and unspeakably wealthy Prince Sadir (underused Oded Fehr).....puts up the entrance fee for the Breeders' Cup, a wholly unbelievable plot turn (the horse's record is surely spotty, having run only one claiming race-in which she placed third-in a year)..... ...

Film Blather
would be a vital film.....instead of adding the awkward title Inspired by a True Story , they should have gone with something that had a bit more ring to it.....I eagerly look forward to the next good movie about a girl and her horse.....you can have a bad movie about a girl and her horse.....All the same, you can have a good movie about a girl and her horse.... ...
