Unfortunately, there are not many horse racing films, which is odd considering that this is one of the most widely popular sports.

However, once in a while, we get a jewel of a movie like “Ride Above” that can express the feelings behind the sport and the connection between these beloved animals and humans.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

The horse riding drama is produced by Nolita Cinema and distributed by Les Films Opale. This means that the movie will be available in many places across Europe on its release date.

The movie Ride Above has been in production for quite some time and the official release date is scheduled for 21.12.2022.

Synopsis

As the story begins in 2001, Zoe is born into a stable full of racehorses owned by her parents, and Beautiful Intrigue is born into the stable as well. Beautiful Intrigue and Zoe grow up together as the teenage girl (Carmen Kassovitz, daughter of French actor/director Mathieu Kassovitz) develops an innate love for horses, which is supported by her supportive parents (Mélanie Laurent, and Pio Marmai).

Being born and raised around horses, Zoe leads a happy life at her parents’ racehorse stables, driven by the dream to one day be a jockey. There is nothing better for Zoe than being with horses, especially Beautiful Intrigue, the stable’s prize mare, who taught her to walk.

She recognizes in Tempest the champion her parents have been waiting and working for all their lives when Beautiful Intrigue gives birth to a foal that she names Tempest. Her dream of riding the winner is shattered when a panicked Tempest accidentally injures Zoe on a stormy night, leaving her permanently disabled.

Afraid of life, Zoe falls into despair, bringing her entire family down with her, especially her father, who is about to lose everything. In pursuit of her dream, Zoe will overcome the impossible with the support of her family and Seb, a stable hand gifted at communicating with horses.

Ride Above Production

Duguay’s (The Art of War, The Assignment) screenplay, written with Lilou Foglie and Christophe Donner (author of the novel on which the film is based), expertly tugs at the heartstrings without ever descending into excessive sentimentality.

Although the film avoids anthropomorphizing in its depiction of Zoe and her horse, parents may wish to have answers ready in case their young children ask for ponies after watching the film. The equestrian sequences are beautifully staged and edited.

As a result of its complex characterizations, sophisticated dialogue, and superb performances, Ride Above never feels overly manipulative or hokey.

Despite her maudlin attempts to gain our sympathy, Kassovitz delivers a heartbreaking performance in her central role, while Laurent portrays the fierce mother who refuses to let her daughter give up. Mottet-Klein and Becker make vivid impressions in supporting roles, while Marmai is equally effective as the loving father.

Final Words

This will be an impressive movie that every horse-riding enthusiast needs to watch. Even though there isn’t plenty of horse racing action in Ride Above, the film is a perfect example of all the emotions that are involved in the sport.

On top of that, it also shows the dark side of horse riding and the dangers that all riders need to overcome that can put their life in jeopardy.

After watching this movie, we’ll all have more appreciation for professional jockeys and learn more about how to handle a horse and all the dangers that come with the sport.
