"What a concept -- a film that makes you feel good about life, even if it deals you a bad hand. Wind Dancer doesn't sugarcoat tragedy, but it shows how tough love, sacrifice and hard work can make things a lot better. I loved this message and want my kids to watch it again and again. Matt McCoy, Mel Harris, and Raeannin Simpson are fantastic. Not a lot of action, but a lot of heart. Kind of like real life!"

"As a Mel Harris fan from way back, I thought she did a great job in this film as the tough-but-compassionate therapist. Matt McCoy made a great dad, and the late, great Brian Keith was a perfectly credible rancher. It was an even-handed "message" movie about the strength of the human spirit, without being overblown and cliche-ridden. A really terrific little movie for the whole family, reminiscent of the early Disney live action films, when "heart" was more important than special effects. Well written, well directed. Amazing scenery, too!"
Not worth your time

"I am sitting here in shock while reading the great reviews this movie has received. This movie was horrible. If I could, I wouldn't give this movie ANY stars. The title suggests this is a movie about a horse, but it isn't. There is a horse in the movie and that's about it. The actors could not act, characters come in and out of the story with no rhyme or reason, and the whole story would have been pointless if the father character would have performed some actual parenting. The "bad guy" was apparently a threat only to himself. Please do not waste your time. If you need a good movie with horses, watch Hidalgo."
