A Champion Heart (2018) User Reviews

Predictable but that's not always bad.

A Champion Heart is an often predictable movie like so many animal based movies are. It does however have a good message and is a sweet family film. I was watching this while babysitting and my nephew actually put down his toys and started watching it with me. We both enjoyed it.

Apparently this is a Christian movie, I had no idea till I came here to IMDb it never preachers to the viewer and as an atheist I respect that.

Perhaps I'm the wrong audience for this.

I think if you are ten years old and love horses you will love this. Unfortunately for me it was one long cliche from beginning to end, no surprise plot twist or anything! Also the riding is atrocious, even the so-called 'advanced' riders were painful to watch. It's obviously one of those 'churned out' movies that they know will attract viewers because it has horses and is heartwarming and I suppose there's nothing really wrong with that, but it could have been so much better.

Absolutely horrible

If you ride horses, you would know how terrible this movie is. The acting is awkward, the riding and equitation is absolutely terrible. I used this movie as a way to practice being a trainer because every time they rode, there was so many things to critique. Even the girl who had supposedly ridden her entire life had very little skill. I would not recommend watching.

The best Christian movie yet

[johnironbear · 10/10 · 4 July 2019]

This is a heartwarming and very well done story of a young girl who is struggling with grief and the horse that helped her to overcome it and find a new lease on life. The acting is superb, the directing is excellent and the script is real life and emotionally engaging.

From the beginning I connected with the actors and the story, through the ups and downs and the difficulties. It reminds me of movies that were once made but now are rarely seen coming out of Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter.

To my mind it's the best Christian movie I've seen yet.. it's not preachy as some are, nor is it cheap feeling with poor acting or scripting. From beginning to end it shows that with love, support and trust we can face the life issues we all must face at one time or another, and in that find the courage to stand up with trust and faith and continue on in spite of whatever might come our way in life.

Wonderful movie for the whole family

A Horse from Heaven is a tremendous film. The story is relatable, despite the fact that I am neither a horse or animal lover. It is a story about relationships, faith and healing. The movie has fantastic acting, great cinematography and good humor thrown in occasionally.

I highly recommend seeing this movie!!

Horse From heaven was funny, inspiring, and I want to see it again

I just attended the premiere of this movie and it was one of the most fun audience experiences for me and my family. The whole audience was laughing, crying, and commenting during the whole show because we could all relate to the very likable characters...as well as some of the more sassy ones.

I overheard one of the young audience members say, "I wish there were more films like these." I couldn't agree more. These days, it is so challenging to find a movie that the whole family can enjoy without being concerned about alarming language or bathroom humor. Even the animated movies are awash with cruddy messages.

This film is filled with lessons about faith, trust, honesty, friendship, stewardship, compassion. It reminded me of the great Sunday night movies that Disney used to broadcast back in the 70s.

This is probably the best movie I've ever seen

[scrapsbyrne · 10/10 · 22 July 2019]

I can't even explain how much I loved this movie. At one point everyone was crying, and two seconds later, everyone was laughing! The acting was incredible, and the script was so well written. Perfect choice of characters, scenery and much much more. Though I absolutely hate the genre the director picked, it was the best movie I've ever seen. I could watch this a billion times, and still not get bored of it.

Horse whispering to the heart

[Ell_J_W · 10/10 · 15 April 2020]

This movie is a true treat and just what I needed to see this evening. Watched on Netflix with my whole family and we all had beaming smiles at the end. A warm, family friendly feel good movie about hope and healing - something we're all in need of at this time.

Perfect family movie starring Devan Key

[mylesmarriott-23857 · 8/10 · 16 April 2020]

This is perfect for the Disney channel. Beautiful Horses, some great scenery, perfect lighting, good acting, good lessons, balanced male - female energy, fantastic real colors on my Plasma TV. My Xbox handled this YouTube movie without any problems. Devan Key was brilliant in this well grounded, safe family movie & what a perfect role. If this movie goes to Disney, I'll sign up. Congratulations!

Excellent film on redemption!
