Courage et rodéo

I have to admit this isn't normally my sort of film and I reluctantly watched only to be hooked early on following the tragic events. The story is truly inspirational and whilst I have no knowledge or interest in horses or rodeo it was more the human story of triumphing against the odds that shone through. Well portrayed by the whole cast and a joy to watch.

I don't watch much rodeo in reality or movies, but my husband and I happened to see this. While there were a number of movie missteps, the inspiration was palpable. For me, Missi Pyle's performance was the best. Her struggles with being a mom of an injured daughter--wanting both the championship's for her daughter but knowing the setbacks that devastate--and feeling helpless at restoring her health moved me to tears more than once. I think this is one of Ms Pyles' best performances. It breaks the mold of her playing mean blondes or dumb blondes. This was truly enjoyable.

I enjoyed the story and all that, great actors (specifically Spencer Locke and Missi Pule) but some of the line deliveries in the film were weak and didn't help tell the story. I was just sitting there at 2 am for it to release and was shooketh that it was the final version because those lines were DRY but like whatever. It was really good, I totes recommend it to a friend, or to whatever stranger online reads this review.... yah.

The positives of this film include the lack of objectionable content and the pretty Country setting. Sadly the acting was poor, and the writing tedious and after getting halfway through I realised it wasn't going to get any better. Basically a non-romantic Hallmark movie. I would recommend skipping this one.

I am a person who does not really like movies. I can tell you it is worth all the time you watch it. I have watched it so many times I have remembered all the songs.

Based on the true story of one of rodeo's most beloved athletes, this movie is wonderful. It is very heartwarming, but be prepared because it will make you cry. The obstacles this girl overcame is nothing short of amazing.

A truly remarkable inspirational story shown as a movie. Those who face tough battles can be inspired to not give up, and that all things are possible. A family friendly movie, with one intense car crash scene. Worth a watch.

INSIDER rated this one of its "TOP 7 GREAT MOVIES ON NETFLIX, calling it "endearing, emotional, inspirational ... the perfect release for International Women's Day." I was truly moved by this powerful film, brilliantly directed by Conor Allyn. A must-see for families, horse lovers and all who love dramatic triumph over adversity.
