Ride Like a Girl

FLAT OUT Teresa Palmer as racing wannabe Michelle

Engaging family entertainment based on the true story of young Michelle Payne (played by Teresa Palmer) who dreams of winning horse racing’s toughest two-mile race, Australia’s Melbourne Cup. Raised by her horse trainer father Paddy (Sam Neill), she sets about defying all around her in this male-dominated sport. Directed by actress Rachel Griffiths, the film is gently empowering and ultimately heartwarming as Michelle overcomes impossible odds.
