Elordi has the vibes of Brando and Dean, Daisy Edgar-Jones does Nathalie Wood.

Design-wise, I think it's a truly powerful film; everything just works perfectly, and the actors fit in seamlessly—including the leads, who look more like themselves with their 1950s haircuts than in their regular hairstyles. The story is a bit more plodding, though; it doesn't quite run like the promised horse. But the ending is beautiful, though I have to overcome a slight qualm about the possibly metaphysical horse in that scene. Just as I have some qualms about the smoking—yes, that was a thing in the era the film is set in, but it still feels wrong. These actors belong in the smoke-free generation, damn it, even if it's perhaps paternalistic.

The soundtrack is particularly beautiful—original and complementing the story, as it should be. It's an art form that seemed almost forgotten, and I'm so glad it still exists.

An excellent film about a woman who, after meeting her brother-in-law, starts gambling on horse racing. The film is set in the mid-1950s and is beautifully staged to reflect that. The characters are well-developed, and the excellent cast certainly contributes to this. A narrow 4.0 stars.
