Movie Reviews of The Horse Whisperer
Movie Review: Pure cinematic perfection. Poetry on film.
Summary: 5 Stars
The other reviews have covered most of the virtues of this film and need not be repeated. This movie is about as good as it gets. It is much more than a "horse story", a fact that seems to have eluded the reviewer from PA (12/14/98). Mr. Redford was for years seen as nothing more than a pretty face. However, the films that he turns out suggest he is something much more. He is an artist and his movies are indeed works of art. The reviewers here are unanimous in the view that this film is pure excellence. All except the reviewer from Nicaragua, that is. Were that person here, she/he would be able to vote. Talk about scary.Movie Review: Beautiful scenic locations and a talented cast.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Horse Whisperer is a wonderful film, one that takes us on the journey of a wife and mother's feelings and emotions. When her daughter is injured in an accident involving her horse, she drives them both across the country to have a man known as the horse whisperer take a look at the horse and try to bring him back to his olf self. It is so full of wonderful elements, especially the soundtrack. The score is full of beautiful melodies and haunting ballads. This DVD is not the best, though. The soundtracks are only 5.1 Dolby Digital, and don't include a Dolby Surround 2.0 track. And there are hardly any special features.Movie Review: A gripping romantic adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a horse lover, I found the story a series of rehabilitating activities after a shocking beginning. I feel sure it was hard for Ann to make on-the-spot decisions concerning the horse while dealing with her daughter's physical problems. At the same time, having had to deal with a child's needs as opposed to holding onto a well-paying job, I can relate to her actions. It was refreshing to see her make choices which were most beneficial to her family rather than today's too-often selfish trends of "me first, last, and always!" I liked the movie because I feel that it is a good moral lesson.Movie Review: Perfect film making
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a shameful Oscar snub. This really is a perfect film. Robert Redford stars in and directs himself so well. Kristin Scott Thomas is great, not a film role I'm used to seeing her in and she was wonderful. The romance that unfolds between those two is magical. And I think it's funny that in The Hunt For Red October, Sam Neil said he would always liked to have seen Montana, and in this film and Jurassic Park, he does. Just a funny little side note. But seriously, the cinematography and score are pure cinema excellence.Movie Review: Redford at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not the biggest Redford fan (off screen) but I recognize that he can be a superb actor. This movie is no exception. Although longer than most movies, it is engrossing. Also known for a young Scarlett Johansen (oh that was her? Yep, and she does a nice bit of acting here as well). The story is not as off beat as the title might lead one to believe, and personally I was very satisfied with the ending although some would disagree.
