Dreamer Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
It manages to be a watchable, even enjoyable movie about and for girls, and in our world of candy-coated sparkly pink crap, that's a rare and commendable thing.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A great family film.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For family audiences seeking easy assurance, moral certitude and, of course, moving scenes of a gorgeous, galloping horse.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Lovely family film, which has a way of resonating in one's imagination for days.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
As a sports drama -- a genre that's gotten entirely too much play lately -- Dreamer is singularly unexciting.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's to Fanning's and Russell's credit, and the filmmakers', that the formula never gets the better of the film.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
It makes a solid case that a wounded horse can heal a wounded family.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Fanning and Russell are a perfect, sweet-and-sour pair. And, of course, the horse is absolutely beautiful -- which, in the end, is what this all comes down to, anyway.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Gatins is so worshipful of a child's starry-eyed aspirations that he forgets to ground them in narrative honesty.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Absolutely solid family entertainment, Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story is corn-fed, wholesome and thoroughly satisfying.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Most of what it lacks in originality, it compensates for in spirit, and its success is dependent on the commitment of the actors and the sense of family they evoke.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
It canters. It gallops. It clears fences of familiarity with grace. It stands two hands above most flicks bred for families, stirring pleasure at its fine-muscled gait.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Any girl (and a lot of boys) in the target age group are going to make Dreamer one of their favorite films.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Closer to Seabiscuit than to Racing Stripes. For that, you can thank the entire cast of able underplayers, most notably Dakota Fanning.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Fanning and Russell make this watchable family entertainment, if not necessarily at today's prices.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Yes, Dreamer follows a formula, but the formula, when applied with skill and intelligence, as it is here, is pretty much foolproof.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
The low-key charm of its setting underscores the easygoing performances of a relaxed, well-matched cast.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Some movies about horses take us for exhilarating rides, but Dreamer circles a well-worn trail again and again and doesn't know when to head for the barn.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
When she speaks about her horse, Fanning can make you believe that no moment like that ever happened before, on or off screen. Now that is breeding.
Newsday
John Anderson
It shows what can be done with overworked and potentially sentimental livestock fodder when everything about the production is first-rate.
