External critics' reviews

It is a great film about greatness, the story of the horse and the no less brave woman who had faith in him. more

Conventional but rousingly effective picture. more

Grace is grace, and however it arrives, there's no denying its presence. more

An engaging sports movie about the greatest racehorse ever and his female owner who literally bets the farm on his supremacy. more

What you DO get with Secretariat is a picture that, unlike its bland predecessor Seabiscuit, actually captures some of the thrill of racing. more

Particularly impressive is veteran cinematographer Dean Semler's inventive cinematography that manages to put the audience right in the middle of the races like never before. more

This isn't a passionate, showy part, but it's a finely drawn performance, worthy of a veteran actress (Lane) who started her career as Secretariat did in the 1970s (in A Little Romance) and has since earned a champion status of her own. more

The result, if occasionally forced, is also irresistible. more

It's tough to guess who will enjoy Secretariat more -- filmgoers who remember the extraordinary events of 1973, when the chestnut 3-year-old won the first Triple Crown in 25 years, or those for whom the story is brand-new. more

This is one terrific movie about one terrific horse. It enthralls on so many levels-emotional, cinematic, historic. more
