Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Amakoa Akana I love this short movie. Its a simple girl and horse film but special. A girl lost in the desert finds a young colt. They become friends as they wander. . . Patriarchal standards block her potential. So, how is it special? First, the cinematography in the desert is awe-inspiring, heart- heartbreakingly beautiful. Second, Biana Tamimi (Neera), who is not an actress, but an equestrian, is a joy to watch. I enjoy her amateurish acting and girlish enthusiasm. Third, The costumes are beautiful, even if I have no idea if they are authentic. Neera's hijab even looks beautiful. Fourth, the villains, especially the one in the black beard, are villainously delightful. And last, The race course is the most difficult I've seen on film and the horse race the toughest I have ever seen, made especially heart-stopping because we know the stakes for Neera. I agree with other reviewers that the film seemed too short. I could have easily watched more of Neera wandering through the desert looking for water, and more training in her secret valley.

TheLittleSongbird The Young Black Stallion is not I agree as good as the original(the best) and the film that followed after that. It does take too long to start with and it is much too short, I also got the sense the film was over too soon. However, it is beautifully filmed and has a nice score. The scripting is mostly nice and sweet without feeling too sentimental and the story is very touching on the most part. The acting is good enough, with the girl and the horse particularly believable.All in all, I liked the movie. The original will always be the best to me and I would have loved the film to have been longer by perhaps extending the training sequence and the beginning to have not taken as long, however I found it overall beautiful and sweet. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Margaret Griffin The horses are beautiful,and the little girl is quite pretty.Young kids will like the movie.I might add if you like horses maybe you can overlook the the absurd things that happen.Even if I suspend my belief about her finding the way home through the desert, or that a wild colt will let you walk right up to it,it's too much to ask that after "running wild" for a year, you can walk right up and climb on.I was with my wild filly a lot longer than she was.I climbed on and Zephyr threw me half way over a 6'fence.Folks enjoy the movie but PLEASE explain to your kid that getting on a wild untamed horse is NOT a good idea.

Kristin I LOVED this movie. I also as some other people thought it was slow-going and it actually bored me at first, but then at the ending really intense. I also thought it was much too short. I said at the end of the movie "It's over?, well that's stupid." They should have made the training part much longer. All they showed was when she was riding him then riding him with a saddle.I also loved the scenery.It was beautiful.I thought there was too many different horses playing the same part. I was reading in a magazine there was like 9 different horses playing it. And not only that you could tell very well that they were different breeds also.But after those mistakes I loved it, it was a touching story.
