Secretariat

The Impossible True Story

Based on a remarkable true story, this chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 USA Triple Crown winner. A housewife and mother agrees to take over her ailing father's stables, despite not knowing much about horse-racing. Against all odds, she and her veteran trainer manage to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately leading to the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

Box Office
Pete Hammond quote iconIt may not break any new ground in the well-worn, horse racing movie genre, but this thrilling and inspiring entertainment about the legendary, 1973 Triple Crown winning horse should have audiences standing up and cheering.

Chicago Sunday Times
Roger Ebert quote iconLike The Social Network, another contender for year-end awards, it has supreme confidence in its story and faith that we will find it fascinating. This is one of the year's best films.

eye Weekly
Adam Nayman quote iconA forcibly inspiring fable about a steel-willed conservative babe of means who juggles family, career and celebrity, Secretariat deserves recognition as the first Sarah Palin movie

Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconIf it's hip to be square, then this racehorse movie is the ultimate in cornball cool.

ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconOkay, but nothing more, Secretariat is like a coin toss that ends up stuck on its side -- it neither wins nor loses, but is just sort of there, on the verge of falling one way or another.
