User Reviews

You will like this charming movie about a horse, a guy, and a girl with personal struggles.

Breaking Free (1995) is a lovely movie. My whole family enjoyed watching this movie in our family room with Youtube 480p video resolution and very good audio quality on the Youtube version with a beautiful music score. This movie endeared itself to me so much, I bought the DVD version used on Amazon. But, this movie on DVD is called "A Leap of Faith," not "Breaking Free." But, to look up this movie in IMDb.com, you have to use "Breaking Free (1995)" as the search protocol. You will like this charming movie about a horse, a guy, and a girl with personal struggles. The DVD addition is not a digital remaster from the original motion picture but a strait transfer from the VHS version to DVD. So the picture quality of this DVD is more like the VHS. The DVD has good audio quality and film has a nice music score.
