Basketball was only invented in US in 1891, Kincsem horse died in 1887. Therefore there was no basketball in Hungary at the time when the events of the film were actually happening.

Undoubtedly, this has been the best Hungarian movie from the last ten years.

If you love horses, watch it. If you just want to see a movie that has a great story alloying drama and action, watch it.

Not only is Kincsem a great horse movie but also represents accurately the underlying tension between the two countries in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I particularly enjoyed the jokes, but I am aware that these were primarily created for the Hungarian viewers. No worries, this does not mean you lose a lot, and the exciting scenes along with the breathtaking landscapes are going to make you wish you could hop on a horse and ride off into the sunset.

I would like to highlight the horse scenes which were amazingly detailed and seemed real. The story was well established and not predictable, the conversations and conflicts were exciting.

Undoubtedly, this has been the best Hungarian movie from the last ten years.

I highly recommend watching it.
