The title is a mouthful, but Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story hits the winner's circle as a warm and inspiring family film. Ben Crane (Kurt Russell) is a Kentucky horse trainer who watches in horror as a championship filly breaks its leg during a practice run. Ordinarily that means curtains, but today Ben's daughter, Cale (Dakota Fanning), is at the track, and Ben impulsively buys the horse and loses his job in one fell swoop. The rehabilitation process is almost too much for a farm that's already struggling to survive in a modern economy, but the horse turns out to be a much-needed salve to the nearly broken family, including Ben's wife (Elisabeth Shue) and father (Kris Kristofferson). The cast is excellent, especially Fanning (who at age 11 has become a major star and was branded by Entertainment Weekly as the most powerful actress in Hollywood), and the film is well-paced by director-writer John Gatins and beautifully shot by cinematographer Fred Murphy. Surely the ultimate fate of the horse and the family won't surprise anyone, but young girls who love horses often don't need a surprise ending. They need a reason to cheer, and Dreamer delivers all the way. (Ages 6 and older: moments of horse peril) --David Horiuchi

 Dreamer is a Great inspirational movie November 22, 2008
Deanna Jill Beckstedt
I used this with my women's group, some of whom had become discouraged from illnesses and accidents. It really lifted them up!
 Review of Dreamers October 24, 2008
Valerie Garner
I really loved this movie. If you liked Seabiscuit this is a movie you're sure to enjoy.
Many times stories based upon true stories can be more interesting than fiction. I loved the reality that showed discouragement, loneliness, doubt and yet at the same time hope, courage, winning against all odds on several fronts and the belief and empowering of one's child.
Great story that leaves you feeling good afterwards.
Fantastic, Inspiring Movie April 4, 2008
Jamie N. Harrington (NC, USA)
I absolutely love this movie! It's enjoyable for the entire family and an incredible story of overcoming struggles and chasing your dreams. Also, the best part is that it's inspired by a true story. Dakota Fanning is fantastic as usual and the way she and Kurt Russell work together on this film is a joy to watch. Anyone who is a fan of horses or horse racing should watch this movie.

This is a very good fact based drama. The story is solid, but what makes this film outstanding is the cast chosen, and not enough good things can be said about them. Kurt Russell is a horse trainer from Kentucky. His look and mannerisms are spot on, and he carries this role well. Dakota Fanning is the daughter and the heart of the movie with Elizabeth Shue cast as mom. Kris Kristoferson is the father/grandfather, and no one could have played this role. His gruff unbending exterior is flawless.
