Ride Like a Girl

Had the choice between this and another movie tonight, so glad we went for this one. Based on the true story of Michelle Payne, surprisingly directed by Rachael Griffiths, this is a good movie and worth the time to watch. Saw some other reviews to make comment on, one has a low score stating she has won a race no has heard of..... there is no one one in Australia that hasn't heard of the Melbourne Cup, Internationally anyone in the racing world definitely knows of it-- it is a longer race with a bigger prize pool than the Kentucky Derby. Another review states that she was suspended for "taking drugs", yes it was wrong but lets be clear, it was an appetite suppressant, not illegal outside sport.

... not too many jockeys, if any, so you need to be a legend or achieve something pretty spectacular to qualify. A truly inspirational story, if you need a fix of happiness with a tear or two thrown in, or some motivation to take the next step to achieving your dreams, look no further than here.

For Horse race fans all over This gritty movie provides some telling shots of what it's like to ride a horse in a tight race.

Thoroughly enjoyable film. Great storytelling. I know only know a little about horse racing but it is focused more on the human story. Good way to spend an hour and a half.

Greetings from Lithuania.

The first 15 min or so of "Ride Like a Girl" (2019) were not very promising. I thought it was very cheesy and will be by a number movie about a sports i really didn't care at all. Yet despite that, this movie started grow on me little by little. Then somewhere in a middle i caught myself rooting for a main character as well as felt her when things didn't went that good. That is because i think of a very good performance by Teresa Palmer - i like this acctress in most what she usually does. Also it never hurts to have Sam Neil in one of the roles to say the least.

Overall, "Ride Like a Girl" tells a good and inspirational story and does it very well. A very fine, sincere and enjoyable movie overall.
