The Horses of McBride Audience Reviews

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Heather If you love Heartland, then you'll love this movie. The family owns some land, which is available for people to rent (for camping, horse riding, etc.) and people can rent horses from the stables. However, they barely make any money and live in a trailer, so they just do it out of love for horses. Whenever they see injured horses, they do whatever they can to help, even if it means canvassing the whole town. Well, what's left of the town, seeing as everyone's been moving away after the mills closed down. It's a great family movie for any time of the year, and encompasses a lot of Canadian culture. The cinematography of the mountainous landscape is beautiful, and gives the movie a peaceful feel.
frank-585 A feel good movie about honest, hard working people who's values are a lesson to us all.The story takes place during the Christmas holidays leading up to Christmas eve. it's about a family who's values are simple and honest. I enjoyed watching the decisions being made as they relate to family matters, life and doing the right thing. I don't care that this movie may have swayed from actual events. The cinematography is stunning, really showcasing nature and the ruggedness of the mountains. Spectacular snow sequences with real snow. I don't think entertaining story telling always needs to be a re- enactment. I watch documentaries for that. Life should imitate art. After hearing and watching news of the shootings at the school, this movie is just what the doctor order to remind us that there are still good people in this world.
PrairieKid We watched this movie thinking it was a docudrama and would provide information about the real story. I read the book written by the women who was the 'true' main character and the only factual thing in this movie are a couple of names and the fact that the two horses were stranded. The movie changed the characters and their involvement, left out several of the main players, altered the story time line, and then fictionalized about 90% of the movie. The result is a very bad telling of the event including a preposterous wolf attack. The actual story is fascinating and is not well served by this TV movie melodramatic script that is so flimsily based on the real events. Tragic, it could have been done so much better.
steve hartwell We just watched it tonight for a family dinner together and we loved it. There's so little on TV telling globally enjoyable Canadian stories to ourselves and the world, and based on a True Story to boot no less, The Horses of McBride is doubly fantastic for all that. Definitely 5 star annual Xmas time classic story, or for any time of the year. We say Excellent work telling that story to all the film people involved, and to the actual real people who did it, even more so. Don't want to give away any details here to spoil it for anybody, though reading the online descriptions probably says as much as that it is a very warm happy story/movie through-out, very inspiring for all ages, and left us feeling very good.
