Magnífico Tesoro

The camera work was nice, and horses looked good, actors were also decent. They butchered the style of the 19th century with the modern dance, music, and cheat tasteless "today's jokes". Music was also awful. Script was horrible very cliche and boring.

The last dramatic scene was one of the worst I've ever seen.

If you read 10/10 reviews most of them are fake , paid ones. Its a shame that they spend tax money on this..

This movie was very well-received in Hungary, but after the trailers I already knew that I won't pay for it. It just looked cheap without taste. The hype couldn't fool me. Tonight, when I saw it on HBO, I just... couldn't get it. How can people really like this film? It has such primitive angles and camerawork, like in a telenovella 10 years ago; a script is a hungarian fake historical soap opera; the costumes 'hungarosteampunk' or what - well, for the creativity I would give it a pass, if it didn't look soooo cheaaap, like made of plastik. The actors and actresses did what they could with the material, which of course couldn't be much.

Maybe the love for this film comes from sentimental patriotism, I can't believe anyone could seriously appreciate this fim, who isn't hungarian. The patriotism of the movie is so cheap and foced it is ridiculous - just like the austrians fake mustache, who are obviously the parody of themselves The only likeable charakter is the Horse, who is cool, because...horses are cool. You just can't mess up that one. Just everything else...

Wasted opportunity. With all the money to spend, somehow they choose Nagy Ervin to star. I mean... really? The guy is on the level of some provincial amateur actors. You don´t know if you should cry or laugh watching him. I would be embarrassed in his place. The music is a disaster. And all looks and feels cheap. Very disappointing.

High budget, nice story, Hungarian patriotic emotions. and slices from XIX century in Austro - Hungarian Empire. the basic good point - the horse. maybe, the humor , too. a nice film. romanticism with soap opera taste, love, ambition, revenge. and decent performances. the basic rule - to not see it too serious. because, in many aspects, from the eccentricity to the poor Tsar, many aspects are jokes.and that make me nostalgic for the top Hungarian cinema before 1990. it is like the expensive wedding cake. the taste is not exactly the same like the aspect. or package. but my favorit are the leather jacket and hat. short, entertainment. a virtue who do not deserves be minimalized.

If you love horses, watch it. If you just want to see a movie that has a great story alloying drama and action, watch it.

Not only is Kincsem a great horse movie but also represents accurately the underlying tension between the two countries in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I particularly enjoyed the jokes, but I am aware that these were primarily created for the Hungarian viewers. No worries, this does not mean you lose a lot, and the exciting scenes along with the breathtaking landscapes are going to make you wish you could hop on a horse and ride off into the sunset.

I would like to highlight the horse scenes which were amazingly detailed and seemed real. The story was well established and not predictable, the conversations and conflicts were exciting.

Undoubtedly, this has been the best Hungarian movie from the last ten years.

I highly recommend watching it.
