Movie Reviews of Summer of the Colt
Movie Review: Summer Of Learning Life's Lessons
Summary: 3 Stars
Set on a ranch in the Pampas Region of Argentina, director/screenwriter Andre Melancon details the lives of three children and their grandfather during a special summer together.
The trio are pursuing different avenues - the youngest befriends a puppy, the 13-year-old sister struggles with leaving her childhood years behind - while David follows the trail of breaking and training his first horse.
The cinematography is wonderful and - though the script is the typical coming-of-age, coming to grips with the end of life - the characters are believable.
Released in 1989, it predates the re-emergence of the horse in Hollywood through successful Thoroughbred racing movies like Seabiscuit and Dreamer. The pace of Summer of the Colt is based on living on a farm, so it is a less-rapid race with life's lessons, as the ultimate timepiece ticks away.
