Jourdain Searles The Hollywood Reporter On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com What starts as a simple love story is anything but, and the beautiful, sometimes painful, unraveling is wonderfully eye-catching and emotional. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Caryn James BBC.com It is a story of subterfuge, secrets and recognitions hardly ever spoken out loud. And it works much better as an idea than as a film. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots The film offers a beautifully crafted world inhabited by a talented cast, but it struggles to provide a substantive exploration of its themes and ultimately falls short of delivering anything particularly meaningful or memorable. Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz On Swift Horses is all about dreams and reality, and it offers a compelling version of both thanks to its visuals and talented ensemble. Rated: 8/10 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire On Swift Horses is a beautifully shot film with a beautiful cast and an uncommonly nuanced script for its genre. Rated: 8/10 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
