The film tells the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes (Academy Award nominee Toni Collette). With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community.
"Spurred on by an excellent Toni Collette, Dream Horse has a comfortably crowd-pleasing gait that makes the most of the story's familiar formula" - EW
"It's a story with all the hallmarks of a typically British feel-good movie in the tradition pioneered by the Ealing comedies of the post-WWII years when the country needed all the laughs it could raise." - Sydney Morning Herald
"Unlikely but true, the charm of this tale of a champion racehorse has everything to do with its tapestry of small town Welsh life and the low key characters who backed a winner" -Forbes
Bring the whole family back to the movies and enjoy a "thoroughly feel-good" film!
