Review

decent, not wonderful, story about a boy who is able to see the winner of horse races by getting on his toy rocking horse. presumably it’s about broken family life and living a life of excess. i don’t remember the story all that well so i don’t know how many of the details make their way in or out of the film. it’s not much in the plot department so it really is incumbent upon the characters to hold up the film. the mother makes some strides as a person, but i wasn’t real impressed. had a good time watching it, but having trouble remembering anything noteworthy about it.
