GazerRise Fantastic!

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

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

SnoopyStyle Buck Brannaman is a horse whisperer in real life. He was hired as a consultant on Robert Redford's movie 'The Horse Whisperer'. His way of horse training comes from his mentors, his foster parents, and an early childhood of abuse from his drunken father. He and his brother were a young cowboy performing duo. At home, the siblings' only defender was their loving mother. After her death, the abuse got even worst until they were rescued by neighbors. Today, he travels around the country doing horse training clinics. He brings along his daughter Reata and her best friend Nevada Watt. The first thirty minutes are interesting. It goes through his troubled childhood, the movie, and introduces his horsemanship. The next thirty minutes get a little repetitive. It adds to his story but it's not until the last thirty minutes when a real scary horse shows up. That horse adds real tension and danger. Overall, this is a compelling personal story and doing interesting work. Horse lovers will really really love this.

ryancarmody Much can be said about Buck Brannaman, he's a father, a husband, a friend, and of course a cowboy. However Buck is different, he is has a talent, one in which he uses in order to help people all around the United States befriend their horses. This documentary truly dwells into the life that Buck lives day to day. Buck, coming from a rough childhood inspires people to be kind not only their horses but also to others and themselves. He believes that "a horse in the mirror to the riders soul" and through many examples throughout the film, his belief in greatly supported. With an underlying message on "kindness" the film tries to teach viewers that kindness truly is the way to befriend, and work with nearly anyone and anything. In the movie Buck is able to gain the trust of nearly every horse he come in contact with, believing that they should be treated as if it were a child and you were its parent. This message is able to get across to the viewers and truly make you think about how treat one another. Overall a good movie with a great underlying message.

shokonator If you are looking for a movie to get pumped for and to watch with a bunch of your friends, do not watch this movie. "Buck" serves as the perfect film for a moviegoer who wishes to enjoy a moving yet informative film that will make you rethink everything you know.Buck Brannaman is has drastically changed the lives of many horses. Touring across the United States for nine months out of the year, Buck provides four day clinics in which he helps fellow horse lovers how to interact with horses in a structural yet caring way. He helps individuals see healthier ways to train their horses, rather than use dangerous techniques or have a dangerous attitude. In the past generations, people would torture horses in order to make them tame. They would use torture, ropes, whips, and many other scary devices to try to conquer the animal's soul by force. These practices were inhumane and a stain on our relationship with animals. Thank goodness that these are not common practices today, however, most of us are still not able to conquer the challenge of training a horse in a perfectly tame and respectful manner. Buck Brannaman understands horses and truly wants others to be able to understand their horses as well. In his clinics, he compares horse emotions to that of human emotions in a way that people can understand.Buck Brannaman says at one point in the movie that your "horse is a mirror to your soul." You may wonder where that idea may come into play in a documentary about some horse whisperer, but this idea of introspection and finding your inner self comes into play every once in awhile. Some other interesting discussions that arise throughout the film include the ideas of speciesism and the close comparison between child rearing and horse rearing.I started watching this movie, hoping that I wouldn't fall asleep from the knowledge that I couldn't grasp with my mind's butterfly net. But thankfully, "Buck" ended up becoming one of the the most interesting and captivating documentaries I have ever seen. This movie is the bomb and be careful when you watch it because your mind will explode.

wasabisasaki "You can discipline and discourage, or you can discipline and encourage." Buck Brannaman, better known as the Horse Whisperer, is really good at the second half of that quote. Buck Brannaman has had to go through a lot in order to become the person who he is today. This spellbinding documentary follows the life of the Horse Whisperer and the awe he carries with him wherever he goes. He is the psychiatrist that works on the relationship between the horse and the human. It's Buck's story, though, that really sets him apart from others that might be like him. He has had to overcome numerous mountains in order to be the person people know him as.Every interview that was shown in the documentary was emotional and truly heartfelt. The people that truly know Buck really understand the difficulties that he had to go through. Switching gears, the music and camera work were on point. The shots that were captured and the music that was played with every interview, every story, every moment made the documentary what it is, outstanding!
