Kincsem an expensive film by European standards and it does not look cheap.
If you are a great movie fan and look for a great Hungarian movies, this may disappoint you, because "Son of Saul","White God", "On Body and Soul" won recently very high critical acclaim with a much lower budget, not to mention classics like "Time Stands Still". But "Kincsem" is not an art-house movie, it is suitable to any 16+ general audience.
If you are looking for a romantic thriller with a racing horse, this film is good, probably worth a 6-7 star rating. If you want to watch something Hungary-related that is also entertaining, this is probably your best choice, and worth a 8-9 star rating.
The racing scenes are great, the film is a bit unusually but well acted. The soundtrack is probably the weakest point, which alternating between original and bad (Hungarian) cliché.
