Reviews for The Horse Whisperer
It's a film-maker's love letter to himself.
06/24/06
Evans' original story, as well as Redford's pro-Earth campaign, are lost in unending travelogue-like vistas of distant horizons, majestic mountain peaks and dazzling sunsets.
01/01/00
The Horse Whisperer is a calculated heart-tugging machine, as soulless and efficient in its own way as Twister or Independence Day; instead of a 'thrill-ride,' it's a trip through the tunnel of love.

Yee haw! Turn off your brain before you watch it.
01/01/00
This has loads of craft and honor but never quite takes off.

Top CriticThat lack of identifiable passion is The Horse Whisperer's most vexing problem.

There won't be a damp eye in the house.

For such a long meal it certainly isn't very filling.

Admirers of Redford's previous (and best) directorial outing, Quiz Show, won't find any of that film's subtlety or smarts here.
01/01/00
As good as Redford and Scott Thomas are at the outset, they can't convey the passion necessary to make the affair believable.
01/01/00
Top CriticRedford seems to have fooled himself into thinking the story of The Horse Whisperer runs much deeper than it does.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhat's missing is spontaneity, soulfulness or any hint of mischief.
01/01/00
Though a bit overlong at nearly three hours and with a curiously unsatisfying ending, The Horse Whisperer nonetheless taps into the spirit of the characters and their noble mounts.
01/01/00
...beautiful-looking and emotionally absorbing...
01/01/00
We are not talking postmodern or even modern here, but the best kind of old-fashioned.
