Good start, but then it gets ruined
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

... View MoreI have to say when I first picked it up I was reluctant to watch it. "Another documentary" I said to myself, but to my surprise I was wrong. I have to admit the beginning is a bit boring and you wonder when it's going to pick up or if it will pick up at all, but it all changes quickly,This amazing film about the relationships between one hundred wild mustangs and one hundred trainers. This film shows a few of these people's stories trying to tame their wild horse. Each of the stories are so unique with a variety of people from all backgrounds. And at the ending I cried. I cried like a baby actually. It was beautiful. As some stated before, you don't have to like horses to like this movie, but it will surely change your thinking once you see it. I hope you all watch this movie, it's life changing and a good movie for all ages.
... View MoreOK, I confess. I am an extreme horse lover and advocate who has been involved in equine activity for most of my life. So it's not a surprise that I absolutely loved this documentary. However, I sat next to a group that weren't fellow horse lovers and they felt the same way! The documentary not only shows the bond the trainers and horses develop, but it takes you on the journey with the trainers that fall in love with these amazing animals. Wylene, the most animated trainer, kept the documentary light when it became intense and heart-wrenching as did the cynical friends of Melissa. A beautifully shot and inspiring documentary about an incredible foundation saving America's wild mustangs! This is a documentary that I hope to see again!
... View MoreWhile I do not think of myself as much of a horse person, I found this documentary incredibly enjoyable from start to finish. Directors Dawson and Gricus present the Extreme Mustang Makeover in a positive and uplifting light that transcends many other equine films out there. My favorite part of the documentary was its focus on the journey of the relationships between the trainers and their mustangs from Day 1 to Day 100. As someone who has had various pets, to see the bond between horse and human was definitely worth cherishing. Overall, I really loved this movie and I can't wait to get a chance to see it again. A definite recommendation to all!
... View MoreThe best people / horse film I have ever seen. The most amazing characters more than any documentary maker could ever ask for..I wanted them all to win both horse and trainer! Each story's was so unique and challenging. The variety of people willing to take and meet this challenge was extraordinary. The gentling and bonding between man and horse and woman and horse was beautiful to watch their unique connection was incredible. The fact that it was done in 100 days with wild hoses, was a lesson to all of us about the spirit of these stunning creatures. Each horse was a character of its own and was as equally unique as their human counterpart in the story.
