Gorgeous, slow-paced '90s horse drama has mature themes.

Curl your cynical lip if you want, but there's a place for heartwarming, life-affirming, even weepy dramas.

Maintains a spiritual atmosphere and decent hold on personal problems, keeping the long journey to the cure compelling, with enough flashes of Heaven on Earth to bewitch even the most disengaged viewer.

I found it to be a compelling, adult film that transports you into another world.
