Nov 10, 2017 I have to respond to the “ critic” who wrote “difficult to watch, especially if you don’t have children”. That is perhaps the most inane comment I have ever seen in a movie review . If you have no interest in children, autism, horses, boys, or the word “the”, then why pray tell did you watch it and why did you feel you needed to lower its overall score because of your bass ackwards opinion? People dealing with the puzzle of autism will go to great lengths to find answers of any kind. I have to say that probably 95%. If families dealing with this will never have the opportunity to travel anywhere to see any shaman or even have access to horses. But if someone can can produce a book or movie/documentary about possibilities for healing and peace, who are you to judge? I understand that all movie reviews are, of course, the opinion of the viewer. But I also understand that negative reviews written by someone who does not, admittedly, have children of their own could perhaps impact someone who could benefit from watching said film. Ok, I’m done ranting, but, P.S. Shame on you! See more Dec 25, 2012 I can't find the words that can accurately describe this documentary story. Mad and unbelievable, but also, so moving. See more Dec 2, 2012 Two extremely annoying parents deal with their son's autism in the most extreme way possible. The film shirks all standard explanation and timelines in favor of what the filmmakers probably feel is a more emotionally true approach to the material. They can feel it, but when you don't build any connection with the characters, emotional truth is elusive. See more Jun 14, 2012 a very inspiring transformation, but the film willows half its runtime explaining itself. See more Apr 29, 2012 A family's trek to Mongolia to find a way to help their autistic son. Inspiring and raises profound questions. See more Apr 5, 2012 A tough movie to watch especially if you dont have children, while there is a sensitivity given to the subject of autism, the movie is ultimately one boring scene after another.
