Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì
Secretariat, comically, has a script written with dialogue that revolves around a great many grunts, groans, and guttural noises sprinkled with a few ‘yeas’. It would be difficult to pull a good acting scene with its limited dialogue lines. The film seems to have no real purpose until watched the second time with careful eyes. The story is more about a woman’s faith than about the horse, Secretariat, and tells the background story of events and choices made by Secretariat’s owner, Penny Chenery Tweedy, that lead to the amazing Secretariat’s Triple Crown winning record.
