The Dark Horse, 2014 - ★★★★


A solid start to the 16th Keswick Film Festival but a slight disappointment because it was one of the films I was looking forward to the most. It's such a well made film with incredibly strong performances that you barely notice all the key points of the underdog/disability/contest story are checked off one by one. It's a good sign that it is perhaps obvious where things are going but always engaging and never feels cliched.
