It teeters between pleasantly generic film biography and rank manipulation.February 01, 2011
Secretariat is cliched, unrealistic and predictable, but it will make you feel goodFebruary 06, 2011
Diane Lane delivers one of the finest performances of her career.March 11, 2016
The race scenes are impressively kinetic as Wallace uses slow-motion shots, low camera angles and archived footage to imbue the races with excitement, but it's not enough to lift this Hallmark snooze-fest.April 04, 2011
You could go see this just to enjoy the production design.October 08, 2010

a safe, enjoyable movie that can be watched by yourself, on a date or at your mother's house after Sunday dinnerDecember 01, 2010
This horsey, 1970s-set Disney film doesn't boast the most imaginative script and is too long and businesslike for youngsters -- yet it still produces a lump in the throat.October 08, 2010
Secretariat earns its best accolades for asking even larger questions as it highlights the story not just of a terrific horse but of his greatest champion, owner Penny Chenery, portrayed with grace, edge and a growing sense of self by Diane Lane.October 08, 2010
The racing scenes, easily the best thing in this otherwise uninspired piece of inspirationalism, come as a distinct relief.October 08, 2010
Just how much you enjoy Secretariat, Disney's glossy-coated biopic of the celebrated racehorse, depends in large part on how much you know of his career. If you know zilch, you'll be thrilled.October 09, 2010
My advice: If you're looking for a nostalgic, inspirational horse-race biopic that doesn't isolate itself completely from economic, historical, and racial reality, go rent Seabiscuit.
