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.

One Huge Star for the story! Another big one to Ervin Nagy, as a high level actor. The third star is to horse, Kincsem.

And that's it.

High budget movie and it looks very cheap! The cast was awful with few exceptions...But the main actress, Andrea Pertik was definitely the worst choice. (Thanks to her the romance factor was zero unfortunately)

With this story...they would have been made a gorgeous movie!!! Feel disappointed.

But again this critic is to the director and to the producer.....

The only thing I enjoyed truly is the horse race and the performance of Ervin Nagy.

The sound sound engineer is the worst all the time. The volume is loud and quiet in a sec. (In the Hungarian version.) The lighting technician is also bad but the original story is great.

Kincsem an expensive film by European standards and it does not look cheap.

If you are a great movie fan and look for a great Hungarian movies, this may disappoint you, because "Son of Saul","White God", "On Body and Soul" won recently very high critical acclaim with a much lower budget, not to mention classics like "Time Stands Still". But "Kincsem" is not an art-house movie, it is suitable to any 16+ general audience.

If you are looking for a romantic thriller with a racing horse, this film is good, probably worth a 6-7 star rating. If you want to watch something Hungary-related that is also entertaining, this is probably your best choice, and worth a 8-9 star rating.

The racing scenes are great, the film is a bit unusually but well acted. The soundtrack is probably the weakest point, which alternating between original and bad (Hungarian) cliché.

As a hungarian movie watcher I am supposed to like this. Problem is, I don't, even though I really wanted to. At first my big problem was the main male actor's leather clothes - they looked stupid. But I could let that go, and even though I couldve done without the dance scene (and the sunglasses too) I let that one go as well. But in the end, the movie could not overcome script problems, and the love between our heroes was as shallow as the hero's personality. I got really angry at the movie when there was animal abuse in it - if you have seen it you probably know what I mean... In the end they put in just about every hollywood cliche the could think of, not that it made it any better. Still, I've seen worse.
