. | "The Horse Whisperer" is
a mother, her daughter and recovery. Annie takes her 14 year old daughter
Grace MacLean together with Gracie's horse, Philgrim, to recover
emotionally and physically at a ranch in Montana where a "horse whisperer,"
Tom Booker, has a unique gift for curing troubled horses or curing the
people who own horses.
IMHO - If you like Robert Redford go see "The Horse Whisperer". Redford has left his hoof prints all over the movie. The patient understanding horse whisperer seems to be liked by everyone. Kristin Scott Thomas plays the role of a detached mother convincingly. It's the relationship between Annie and Tom that is limiting. You so wish the sparks would fly but the heat is just not there. No heat, no passion, leads to not enough tension. Photography is excellent. Panoramic sweeping landscapes and you know this is not New York anymore. If you read the book, you might find the movie ending rings more true to character. Better resolution of the characters in the movie version. Great musical score though some scenes might have been enhanced with the extreme quiet hush that can be felt in this wide open spaces. Dianne Wiest is particularly good as the rancher's wife. Be warned though, the movie seems to be a bit long. Filming - Filmed in Montana, Livingston Montana, Big Timber Montana, Jackson Wyoming, New York New York, Saratoga New York, Ballston Spa New York, Connecticut. Novel based on the book by Nick Evans, "The Horse Whisperer," Delacort Press, 1997 Budget - Estimated cost of The Horse Whisperer is put
at approximately $75 million.
