For a documentary all about the iconic Ford Mustang, "A Faster Horse" is seriously lacking zip.

Hollywood Reporter

It may be difficult to escape a sense that the film sometimes plays like an extended product promo, an impression unlikely to deter a potentially global audience of enthusiasts.

New York Times

The tidbits we learn are wrapped in an unabashedly promotional tone that overestimates the global emotional attachment to this car's muscular mythos.

The mustang is more than just a car, and as such, A Faster Horse is more than a documentary; it's an ode to history, memories, and the future.

On one hand, it is dismissive to consider A Faster Horse a car commercial, but as one, it works.

Can't say I'm a fan of Fords all that much, but I'd love to own a classic 60s or 70s Mustang someday. A cool look into designing a new version of the iconic muscle car, and the technical and cultural hurdles that come with it. Watched at home in Netflix, March 27, 2016.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Nice little car documentary. We had a first year Mustang when I was a kid. I owned a 68 stang in the 80s.

A Faster Horse is a well done documentary that captures the history, the aura and the emotional connection people have with arguably the most iconic and recognizable vehicles in America. It provides an in depth look into the design of the 2015 model and the pressures faced by the design team to meet and exceed the expectations of all that love the Mustang. If you love or own a Mustang, you'll appreciate this documentary. And even if you don't, you just might after watching this.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
