If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A young boy (Rendall) is sent to live with his aunt Fiona (Seymour) while his mother recuperates from a car accident that took her husband and daughter. The reclusive aunt lives on Sable Island which is a haven for wild horses, birds etc. Sable Island is about 100 miles east of Nova Scotia. Fiona is allowed to live there by the Canadian Government providing she does not touch the horses.The is a movie worth seeing. It has elements of The Earthling (William Holden, Ricky Shroeder) and The Black Stallion (Kelly Reno, Mickey Rooney). (Oh, BTW, The Earthling is not about people from Mars etc.)This is a good family movie, almost perfect. I thought it might be a true story, but was unable to confirm that.

I saw this movie yesterday at the Sprockets Film Festival in Toronto and it was excellent. It was an amazing family drama that made you laugh and cry. A very enjoyable movie for the entire family to sit down to and enjoy together. This movie teaches life lessons that all children should be taught. Although it had a very small cast, EVERY single person in that cast was EXTREMELY talented, no matter how big or small their roles were. Perfect movie, perfect cast, perfect directing, perfect writing... perfect EVERYTHING!!

I would most highly recommend this movie. It is beautifully done and sets a touching and thoughtful mood. We happened upon this movie as In-flight entertainment returning from Ireland and were impressed by it's simple, stark beauty.

We recently saw Touching Wild Horses and it was a great movie. The boy that stars in it, Mark Randall, is excellent. If he continues to do quality movies, he will go far. I recommend it to anyone, especially if you love horses. The acting by Jane Seymour was also excellent.
