DVD Reviews of The Horse Whisperer

DVD Review: The lost message of this film
Summary: 3 Stars

There's a message that Redford is trying to subtly get across. Redford is trying to convey that the most important things in life (and to mankind) are simple. Relax, love one another, live where you want, do what you want, and know that in spite of all of that, you can still be respected.

In a fast-paced America, we fight amongst each other for money, property, job status and damn near everything else. We even compete on the roads to see which one of us will arrive at the red light first!

As the film points out, we have no time for realtionships with our children or even time to make home-made spaghetti sauce.

This film was attempt to remind us that integrity is worth more than greed.

Just my opinion.

DVD Review: Very good movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Loved this movie and needed to have my own copy to watch whenever I want. Great movie for all horse lovers

DVD Review: Sewing Freak
Summary: 5 Stars

I love horses and when I saw this movie in the theaters I needed to add it to my collection of movies. I love this movie. Wonderful job.

DVD Review: Robert Redford's LEGACY and GREATEST film!
Summary: 5 Stars

Clint Eastwood has "Unforgiven". Kevin Costner has "Dances With Wolves". Mel Gibson has "Braveheart". And Robert Redford has "The Horse Whisperer". This movie is in the same league as those films. In other words, Robert Redford's FINEST achievement.

One could tell that Scarlett Johansson would go on to be a movie star, because anyone who could give such a GREAT performance at such an early age has star written all over them. Kristin Scott Thomas and Sam Neill are both exceptional as well.

This movie is PROOF that somewhere along the line, Robert Redford learned how to direct a film with the best possible results. I am a horse lover so I couldn't have enjoyed this movie more.

If I had to give a letter grade to this film it would be a SOLID A+!

I have one question: WHERE is the Two-Disc "Special Edition"?!

DVD Review: The Horse Whisperer
Summary: 5 Stars

Any movie with Robert Redford in it is good. The scenery in this movie aside from the great acting is beautiful.

Description of The Horse Whisperer

Academy Award(R)-winner Robert Redford (Best Director, 1980, ORDINARY PEOPLE) stars with Adademy Award(R)-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (Best Actress, 1996, THE ENGLISH PATIENT) in this landmark epic adapated from one of the most acclaimed novels of our time! After a devastating riding accident, a young girl and her beloved horse are both left with serious physical and emotional scars. Determined to help, the girl's desperate mother (Thomas) puts her busy, big-city life on hold and travels west to seek out the "Horse Whisperer." When she meets this rugged, down-to-earth rancher (Redford), she discovers his extraordinary gift with animals also touches the lives of the people around him! Featuring Hollywood favorites Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK) and Oscar(R)-winner Dianne Wiest (Best Supporting Actress, 1994, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY) in a superb cast -- critics and moviegoers alike were captivated by this powerful motion picture event!
Although it's best viewed on a big theatrical screen to take full advantage of Robert Richardson's breathtaking widescreen cinematography, it seems likely that most people will see this classy romance in the comfort of their own homes. Adapted from the bestseller by Nicholas Evans and directed by Robert Redford, the film did respectable business at the box-office, but it was too sprawling and too soapy to be a bona fide hit. Redford stars as the title character, a Montana rancher named Tom Booker, who possesses the specialized talent of healing traumatized horses through careful and affectionate rehabilitation. He gets his most challenging case when he's sought out by a fast-lane New York magazine editor (Kristin Scott Thomas, in a role modeled after former New Yorker editor Tina Brown) whose daughter (Scarlett Johansson) was injured and traumatized by an accident that nearly killed her favorite horse. When mother, daughter, and horse arrive at Booker's ranch, the big-city editor falls in love with the serene rancher and faces the painful decision of whether to stay in Montana or return to her husband (Sam Neill) in New York. Some may find this to be much ado about nothing, and comparisons to The Bridges of Madison County are inevitable, but Redford's directorial approach offers the kind of graceful stature, tenderness, and intelligence required to elevate the simple story. The film takes all the time it needs to let its characters heal and make their important decisions, and that alone makes it a refreshing alternative to the frantic pace of most big-studio productions. --Jeff Shannon
