DUELING CRITICS

"It's the kind of film that generates tears and ovations, and if you're in the mood for one (as I was), you're a goner...What's remarkable is how the old National Velvet-style motifs can be recycled so plausibly and with so much tension and emotion"

- John Anderson

"A sample of wholesome family entertainment that makes this critic thank God for David Lynch, Dreamer loses to Seabiscuit by a nose in the race for most inane underhorse, err, underdog crowd-pleaser in recent years"

- Fernando F. Croce
