Arya S This is a must see, fantastic documentary, so beautifully told, about Monty Roberts and his non-violent methods of training horses, so revolutionary when seen within conventional brutality of horse training, But it is also so much more than that, with deep insights into both human and animal nature, as Monty's later work with PTST sufferers exemplifies. There are breathtaking moments of beauty as Monty works and bonds with horses -- efforts that capture the attention of a likeminded and compassionate Queen Elizabeth. "On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out injustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine." Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Mary H I taught English for a short time in a juvenile prison. Teenagers, especially when they've made bad decisions, are like wild horses. The best way to reach them both is to pay attention and to be respectful. This film can teach us a lot about connecting with each other. I grieve at the sight of traditional horse - "breaking" methods, and I celebrate Monty Roberts's way of training horses and helping soldiers and first responders find a way back from trauma. Monty's background as an abused child informs him deeply. Bravo. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Audience Member A moving and thoughtful film that shows the folly of the traditional method of training horses by "breaking" them, the wisdom of a man brought up to be a cowboy, and the unexpected compassion of Queen Elizabeth II. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Clayton C What a surprising movie! This thing should win an Oscar. I wasn't familiar with Monty Roberts until a friend told me about the film, but boy am I happy it came to our local theater. This is a must watch for everybody... especially documentary fans. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Marcella C What an absolutely lovely film, graced by the loveliness of Monty Roberts who introduces us to the equal loveliness of his horses, not broken as by violent tradition, but respected and treated with connection and sensitivity. A fabulous history of Monty’s life - I loved it and I am not a horse person, but now maybe I shall be…the horse whisperer teaches humanity that they can indeed be humane. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Natalia R Amazingly moving and inspirational, but not sentimental at all -which is great, in my opinion. Loved it!
