Critic Reviews

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Jun 25, 2020

It’s a bit hammy and TV-movie-ish, but you can’t help smiling at its feelgood directness and warmth. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Feb 27, 2020

The whole affair plays as muzzled, truncated and incomplete — a ten furlong dash through a two mile (16 furlong) race. Read full review

Kimber Myers

Unfortunately, this Australian horse racing film remains a standard underdog narrative that fails to rouse the audience from their seats, despite the best efforts from its cast and a few charming moments. Read full review

Sarah Ward

For a film so tied to a thoroughbred showcase, this broad crowd-pleaser blatantly relies on well-worn parts. Read full review

John DeFore

Mar 12, 2020

Making her debut as director with a true story from her native Australia, actor Rachel Griffiths gives the pic a workmanlike, generic feel that would play well on family-centric cable channels. Horse lovers will be the moviegoers most vulnerable to its modest charms. Read full review

The Guardian Luke Buckmaster

Clearly marketed as inoffensive feel-good pap, I didn’t go into the film expecting a nuanced commentary on the racing industry. But nor did I expect what often felt like a thinly veiled 98-minute advertisement, interspersed with occasional moments of warmth and humanity. Read full review

Ride Like A Girl lives up to its name with the wit of its delightful cast carrying us on an emotionally effective and refreshingly relatable journey that is sure to inspire.

(Mauro Lanari)
There is more material here than in "The Horse Whisperer" (1998) and for this reason in the most important moments one can feel in the debutant Rachel Griffiths the lack of a firm and experienced hand like that of Redford.
