The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Filmed entirely on location in the Caribbean, this touching family drama tells the adventurous tale of a Puerto Rican boy who befriends a Paso Fino palomino, a descendant of the horses of the Spanish Conquistadors. The young man kidnaps the colt in order to ride in the island horse championships and ends up learning a lesson in responsibility and honor.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
