| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Horse Whisperer |
|---|
A wonderful film about a mother (Thomas) and daughter who drive to Montana in hopes that the man known as the "Horse Whisperer" (Redford) can help get their horse back to normal after a terrible accident. But once they get there, the two find there is alot more healing happening than just for the horse. Overall a fantastic film with beatiful scenery and heart-breaking drama.
