Featured reviews
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..

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.
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.
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.

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...

Basketball was only invented in US in 1891, Kincsem horse died in 1887. Therefore there was no basketball in Hungary at the time when the events of the film were actually happening.
