Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story

...decent performances and a brisk pace make for a sweet, Seabiscuity family drama.

...it is syrupy sweet as can be, enhanced by gorgeous tracking shots over wide Kentucky expanses, and earnest father-daughter exchanges.

It offers the simple black-and-whites of innocence, with no grays to add complexity.

...a heartwarming story about a young girl and a racehorse that is predictable, yet surprisingly free from overt sentimentality.
