Redford's adaptation of Nicholas Evans' bestselling novel is a countrified, monolithic thing of beauty...

Top CriticThe 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.
06/05/02
This has loads of craft and honor but never quite takes off.
11/08/07
...there is a magnificence in his treatment here that dignifies what is essentially a soap opera.

Top CriticRobert Redford is one of those unquenchable movie stars who look ever more fascinating as they mature. His new drama, The Horse Whisperer, shows him at his rugged best.
01/01/00
Despite its flaws, The Horse Whisperer is a marvel -- in its artistry, its love of place, and its tender regard for broken hearts.

You come away from the movie with a more visceral understanding of why Kevin Bacon and Peter Fonda spend most of their time on their Montana ranches and why Redford would choose to live in Utah.

...beautiful-looking and emotionally absorbing...
01/01/00
Top Critic...an intelligent, lush-looking tale...
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
Top CriticAdmirers 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
This spectacularly acted and photographed epic offers plenty of mainstream fodder for a broad swath of filmgoers to enjoy.
01/01/00
Robert Redford has done it again.
02/08/03
Yee haw! Turn off your brain before you watch it.
