| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThe drama really takes off during the competitions, filmed with an aerobic camera that moves everywhere ... Even if you're not an equestrian, this is a knuckle-biter. |
| Montreal GazetteBrendan KellyEventually you may tire of the endless slow-motion sequences of horses leaping over fences, but even for those of us with little interest in the sport, it's hard not to get wrapped up in the drama. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoPerhaps the makers thought horses were innately fascinating, and we'd just feel fortunate to spend 130 minutes in the presence of this one. Never before have I felt so misunderstood by a movie. |
| User Reviewstephane lnice script, nice linear chronological biopic, nice casting , i am pretty sure americans will make a similar movie about the gold medal won in LA 1984 |
| User ReviewJeremy MSurprised At how good this movie was, really moving and emotional. |
| User ReviewEmmanuel FBelle histoire d'affections entre un cheval et le monde autour. |
| User ReviewCaroline SFilm très sympa pour les amateurs d'équitation, et plus généralement pour ceux qui aiment les animaux. Un peu chargé en bon sentiments, peut-être? |
| User ReviewScarlet AIt reminded me a bit of the Rocky genre; themes of underdog rising and the intimate conversations you can only have with your other half. Good work! |
| User ReviewNadia VLe film relate très bien l'histoire de la vie de ce champion qu'était Jappeloup ... |
| User ReviewDavid NMagnifique film sur l'histoire de Jappeloup, amateur de chevaux je vous le conseille. |
