Critic Reviews

S. James Wegg, JWR
Touching Wild Horses seems more a trite Movie-of-the-Week, than a solid film that combines breathtaking beauty with character conflict and resolution.
Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune
A family drama ... that makes up for its production deficiencies with a noble heart.
Jeff Vice, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
The insights this independently produced drama has aren't any deeper than those to be gleaned from your average Afterschool Special.
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
Take your good intentions and put them in your bum. This is as dull and pointless a film as I've seen in ages.
