Finding Faith in a Country Setting
There are pros and cons with the film, but the general feeling throughout is that it is a little less than a Hollywood blockbuster. The acting was stiff and often the actors gave the impression of simply delivering their lines properly, which of course is fine, but you may lose a little of the character being portrayed that way. The acting was good, but a little stilted, and I really couldn't tell if it was the general environment or location, or the actors, because all were kind of the same. The story itself is really wholesome -- no foul language, or romance going on the side, or violence of any kind. Even the car accident that killed Ethan's mother was portrayed in a couple simple scenes, without showing really anything (contrary to many movies these days) -- not even a hospital. Also, the entire movie (although the location is a horse boarding facility) is more about faith and finding God in everyday circumstances than about the horse. So, if you're looking for something like the Black Stallion or Fury, this probably isn't for you. It includes several Sunday school teachings on loving one's neighbor and it tells the stories of people (both young and old) coming to terms with their faith and family relationships while grooming a horse, or walking in a horse arena.
