Reviews for The Horse Whisperer
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.

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

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

Top CriticIt's a film-maker's love letter to himself.

Despite its flaws, The Horse Whisperer is a marvel -- in its artistry, its love of place, and its tender regard for broken hearts.

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.

Top CriticTutors us in the art of slowing down, being present, and quieting the heart.

Redford is obviously a romantic at heart, and he brings a light touch to the erotic moments in the film.

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

Top CriticThough 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.
