Dark Horse (2015)
Rated PG
Written & Directed by Louise Osmond
The Story:
In the Welsh village of Cefn Fforest, the townsfolk band together and pledge £10 a week to dream the impossible dream of raising a horse to run in competition.
This is their story.
And it's a heartwarming story to be sure.
Add up the cliches, the underdog story, and you've got the formula right here.
A bunch of poor townfolk, many unemployed dare to join the sport of the aristocracy and enter a world they could only dream of.
Nobody had a clue what they were doing.
Not the owners.
Not the horse.
But with a good trainer, could the impossible happen?
Well, they rarely make movies like that unless it does.
So sit back and get ready to laugh a little, maybe cry a little and enjoy the love and camaraderie of some of the most enjoyable cast of characters you'll see all year.
Final Grade: B+
