519. Dream Horse. So, I'll start by saying Toni Collette is an awesome actress! Horror, Drama, Comedy, Science Fiction she does it all, and always becomes whatever character she plays, and this one is no different! In this one she plays Jan, she lies awake all night listening to her husband snore, gets up at the crack of dawn to go to her job at the grocery store, stops by to take care of her aging parents, sees her husband Brian for a few minutes then head down to the local pub to work a shift there too! Yikes. One night she overhears Howard, a guy who is also suffering from the day in, day out blues, talking about horse racing, raising, and owning horses, and she's like that sounds interesting and I'm bored as hell with the day in, day out. Back at home she stares at her trophies, for various things, but mainly raising animals. And just like that she gets the idea to raise and race a thoroughbred horse. Sure, she's broke like everyone else in town. But what if she convinces everyone in town to chip in? She does quite a bit of research, enlists Howard's help, and does exactly what she sets out to do! Filled with great performances and a story that touches you in the feels, it's worth the watch! Also, it's based on a true story, which made it just that much more inspiring. Filmbufftim on FB.
