Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    It's got lovely vistas, and earnest performances, and Allison Lohman... is very believable.

  • Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star

    Alison Lohman, the 27-year-old actress who plays Katy, makes the whole thing worth watching.

  • Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

    The apparent lesson of the movie? Keep disobeying your parents and you'll eventually get your way.

  • Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Flicka is a bronc you shouldn't put money on.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    A perfectly pleasant updating of the story, well-acted, nicely directed and beautifully photographed.

    My mother dragged me to this one. It was pretty boring and too girlish for me. The plot was trying too hard to be good when its just a horse movie. The cast was pretty good, nothing amazing. Overall its not really worth seeing in my opinion.

    Fantastic. Lohman really rocked in this role. It is weird seeing the story with a female lead but what the heck...

    Quite great and heartwarming family movie with horses again. A teenage daughter (Alison Lohman) of the family's mountainside horse ranch has a good courage to care about a wild mustang with love and strength.
