About This Movie
Behind the Gate (2013) offers a deep dive into the world of American horse racing, often referred to as the Sport of Kings. With a blend of celebrity interviews, including Joe Pesci, Oscar De La Hoya, and Bobby Flay, the film creates a gritty yet intimate atmosphere that reveals the highs and lows of this often glamorized sport. The pacing is measured, allowing you to really absorb the narratives surrounding the two central horses, Home Journey and another, whose journeys symbolize larger themes of ambition and heartbreak. The practical effects are understated, emphasizing the raw emotion of the races rather than flashy visuals. The performances, especially from Pesci, add a layer of authenticity that is often missed in sports documentaries.
