I think the movie was great and lived up to its expectations. The acting was really good on some of the characters, while others were maybe a little tame. As a horse person I must say that the horses were all perfect and the horse scenes were beautifully filmed. I prefer this one over the original because it feels more home and more relatable (as a Norwegian), but other than that I think they're both equally good movies. But this is probably going to be my new Christmas favorite.
