Horse Whisperer

Pros: A Beautiful, Visually Stimulating Film from Robert Redford.
Cons: An Underused Supporting Cast, Slightly Inconsistent, Uneven Script, & Lack of Chemistry in Redford/Thomas Romance.

One of the most revered icons in films for the past 40 years, Robert Redford has captivated audiences in both as an actor and a director. He won recognition for memorable performances in movies like “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid”, “All The ...

Pros: Great Acting, Heartfelt and Sad
Cons: A bit slow, but worth it.

When I first watched The Horse Whisper I cried It is a very heartbreaking movie about love, trust, long-suffering, and changes in life.
Annie Maclean ( Kristin Scott Thomas )stars as a very pushy magazine editor.
Robert Maclean ( Sam Neill )...

Pros: Redford still a good look
Cons: ....

Redford's re-entry into the movie theaters as the aging but gentle man dealing with not only wounded horses but also wounded people is a heartwarming event. Kristen Scott Thomas plays the mother who has allowed her career to overshadow her relationships...

Pros: Some good wide angle scenic shots
Cons: Cliche ridden; supports marital infidelity; slowwwwww....

I got dragged to this by an ex-girlfriend. I'll admit, I was biased going in: I thought this would be a Harlequin romance type book in film form, and I think I was right... I'll admit, I'm writing this aware of being biased from a male point of view,...

Pros: Good acting by minor characters, great story line
Cons: too many to list

I started reading the book, immediately bonding with the characters. I couldn't wait for the movie to come out! I had to go buy it! What a disappointment! Robert Redford is a good character actor and I have liked a few of his movies. He must have...

Pros: cinematography, direction, cast, script
Cons: lengthy, slow, Redford-Thomas romance

Yes, it's nearly three hours long, and the story does drag at times during the film's second half. But The Horse Whisperer has compelling characters, understated direction, a decent script, and very good cinematography.

The story is...

Pros: She didn't sleep with the guy; long enough to get your money's worth
Cons: Graphic violence not for the young

I love horses. I love scenery. I love a good story. I love this movie.

A single caveat: the scene in which the horses are hit by the tanker are graphic and scary - if you are viewing the film with anybody even slightly impressionable, this...

Pros: Visually wonderful, Robert Redford
Cons: slow plot (after the first few minutes), fairly long (almost 3hrs)

I read the book first, then saw the movie, which was probably a mistake. The book is wonderful, and I highly recommend it, even for those who have seen the movie (the ending is different in the book). Actually, much of the story is different in the...

Pros: Fabulous directions and visually spectacular
Cons: A little slow in parts

"The Horse Whisperer" is a vision to view. With Robert Redford's direction and performance, you know this must be a great film. It truly is wonderful and such a feast for the eyes.

14 year old Grace and her horse Pilgrim are...

Pros: nice scenery
Cons: too long

The Big Sky Country scenes in this movie were fantastic. I felt like I was visiting Montana again myself. After that the film was a disappointment to me. I was persuaded to go see this one by my husband who rarely goes to the theater to see a...

Pros: Stunning and beautiful. A must-see.
Cons: Compromised ending.

THE HORSE WHISPERER: Drama. Robert Redford's "The Horse Whisperer" is so stunningly beautiful and gloriously enervating, that it can be (mostly) forgiven for it's highly compromised ending (which I will not give away). Redford directs himself...

Pros: Great cinematography!
Cons: Inaccurate, hard-to-believe tale with poor horse training scenes.

While I know many who loved this movie, as a professional horse trainer, I found too many inaccuracies and far-fetched scenes to truly enjoy the movie. To it's credit, the cinematography was exceptional. The crash scene was very well done and the views...

Pros: Romantic
Cons: LONG

When a young girl is in a bad accident involving a horse, a friend's horse, and her best friend she is damaged. Her leg was removed and she can never ride again. Her mother decides to bring her on a road trip to find a "Horse Whisperer". This...

Pros: Intelligent story, powerful acting.
Cons: Pace may be too slow for some people.

I don't always agree with making movies from popular novels. Some books just don't lend well to onscreen adaptations. Getting inside characters heads is a lot more interesting on the page than it can be portrayed onscreen. I did not read The Horse...

Pros: Show's the ability of what one person can do
Cons: Some of the plot is off

I enjoyed this movie a lot! It was a very compelling and heartwarming story about a young girl who battles many obstacles. She has to overcome herself a long with the disability that she already has. She shows to be a very strong and powerful young...
