I was really impressed by this movie. I honestly didn't expect much, and really could not have cared either way if i saw this movie or not. However, I did end up seeing it, and really enjoyed it. Every actor did a fantastic job, the story kept me interested, and the direction and cinematography were sweeping and beautiful in their use. The only thing that bothered me every now and then was the narration, but I quickly forgot about that. Even if you are not into horses, this is a film that you should see.
