Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story of Dream Alliance (PG)

Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story of Dream Alliance (PG)

Documentary, Drama

An inspirational true story of a group of friends from a working men's club who decide to take on the elite 'sport of kings' and breed themselves a racehorse.


The critical consensus

More stirring than National Velvet, less sentimental than Champions, Dark Horse never contrives to make us cry. And, like a well-told tale at the pub, it grips from start to finish.

It's hard not to be seduced by this folky yarn.

***(*)(*)Anna Smith, Empire Online, 13/04/2015

With its sheer warmth and likability, this good-natured documentary won my heart – a real-life The Full Monty or Billy Elliot or Pride.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 16/04/2015
