User Review - 10/10 by Suneeta NThis one of my favorite horse movies ever
User Review - 10/10 by Ginny TI've never understood why this movie has been so largely ignored by viewers and critics since its release in 1978. I saw "National Velvet" when I was young, and truthfully, I hated it. I was able to get my mother to take me to see "International Velvet" because of her love of Elizabeth Taylor (her peer) and the original. I loved this movie for many reasons, but it was wonderful to see Tatum O'Neal (a slightly-older peer of mine) in such a wonderful, heart-warming role. Ms. O'Neal moved so gracefully in this movie from age 8 to 18 without question. She portrays Sarah Velvet Brown, niece of the "original" Velvet Brown - winner of the Grand National. At the beginning of the film, Sarah arrives in England to live with her Aunt Velvet and "Uncle" John after the car-accident deaths of her parents in their home town of Cave Creek, Arizona. She soon develops a keen interest in horses, and raises Velvet's horse, "Pi"'s son, "Arizona Pi" to adulthood and eventually rides him to to the Olympics. This is a true "coming-of-age" story with SUPERB cinematography (a stunningly-beautiful sea-side English locale), haunting score and stellar acting by a first-class cast, including two of my all-time favorite actors, Christopher Plummer and Sir Anthony Hopkins. A year or so ago, I happened to catch the tail-end of a short featurette on this film, on the Independent Film Channel. It featured clips and details about how Tatum O'Neal learned to ride entirely for, and during the production of this movie. The race-footage clearly shows Tatum doing most, if not all, of the actual riding, even in the most difficult steeplechase sequences. Even if you're not a horse-lover, you'll adore this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Terri MWell being I like horses so much, I watch any horse movie once and if I really liked it I buy it and watch it again,again and again..
User Review - 10/10 by Lee MI so wanted to be Tatum O'Neal in this film!
User Review - 10/10 by Ray JONe of Taylor's best movies wshe ever made.
User Review - 6/10 by Susie GBeautifully filmed. The scenery and cinematography is excellent. Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Plummer give fine performances and Tatum O'neal was a lot better than I was expecting her to be. She gives a sincere performance. It is overlong, but rewarding.
User Review - 6/10 by Private Uthis was a nice little movie and about a young girls relationships, and her coming of age as an american growing up in england
User Review - 6/10 by James MSome of the dialogue & acting is cheesy, but I have a soft spot for this as it's one of my Mum's favourites. I've not seen the original 1944 movie (National Velvet), so the above review may be subject to change.
