Though I'm more than willing to sit through this kind of thing, I got it pretty quickly, and eventually overdosed on the glorious horsey-ness of it.

Even though the movie plods in places, its acting and production values are first class.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 28, 2023

A handsome still life, bloodless and schematic.

Full Review | Nov 28, 2023

This is the fastidiously rendered work of a craftsman, and a sob-inducing, beautifully old-fashioned affair which is bound to irritate the hell out of a younger audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2023

The movie is not only a better version of the book, it's a work unto itself. The story is subtler, and the moral issues it raises are far more complex.

Other than the opening sequences with the horse in the sand and the horse and the truck, the rest of the film is rather unoriginal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 5, 2023

When the plot slows to a crawl, Redford whisks you off your feet and dazzles you with exceptional cinematography and breathtaking scenery.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2023

Like Jaws, Carrie and The Bridges of Madison County, director Robert Redford's screen version of Nicholas Evans' smash bestseller has largely been deemed one of those rarities: a movie that improves on its source material.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 22, 2021

Gorgeous, slow-paced '90s horse drama has mature themes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 29, 2016

Maintains a spiritual atmosphere and decent hold on personal problems, keeping the long journey to the cure compelling, with enough flashes of Heaven on Earth to bewitch even the most disengaged viewer.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 28, 2012

Pays sensitive homage to the wide-open landscape and psychology of the West...

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

Curl your cynical lip if you want, but there's a place for heartwarming, life-affirming, even weepy dramas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2007

Directing himself for the first time, Redford has lavished his usual meticulous care on popular material that comes alive on the screen in ways that it never could on the page.

This has loads of craft and honor but never quite takes off.

| Nov 8, 2007

We are not talking postmodern or even modern here, but the best kind of old-fashioned.

Scott Thomas can only squint at her co-star, halo'd against yet another sunset: these are the aesthetics of the shampoo commercial, soft soap for adolescent girls of all ages.

| Jun 24, 2006

I found it to be a compelling, adult film that transports you into another world.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 9, 2005

A lovely piece of filmmaking.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 14, 2003

This is a beautiful movie, but not for those in a hurry.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 16, 2003

Robert Redford has done it again.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003
