Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken Audience Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bereamic Awesome Movie

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

ed_two_o_nine This is not a bad film and for what I think of as a TV movie this is no where near as bad as some of the dross I have endured. However judged as a stand alone movie this is mediocre. Yes this is family fair but for me if you want a good movie for all the family there are hundred of better options than this. If you look objectively it really is a Disneyfied version of the Depression glossing over how badly the poor and working class suffered in that era. The premise of the movie is the story of lead character 'Sonora' who runs away to join the travelling carnival and eventually becomes part of a horse diving act (it is frightening that this stuff actually was classed as entertainment), and how she overcomes the many obstacles and tragedies in her path. There is nothing about the film that is terrible or nothing to make it stand out either. All the performances are very much by numbers as is the direction and all that goes along with it. This in not terrible but I for one will not be seeking it out again.

maestroman You know as much as I don't like comparing movies, "Wild Hearts Can't be Broken" is like "Rudy" The only difference is that a movie like this appeals more to women. Frankly I can't fairly say that because "Rudy" was made after this movie, but my subject heading isn't a bad thing. The lovely Gabrielle Anwar plays Sonora Webster the typical girl whose lost her parents and has discipline problems. So yes we've established that she has issues that can be considered as "odds" against her. Nobody really cares that she wants to dive horses, but she sees it then decides she wants to do it. So what does she do, goes through blood, sweat and no tears because her trainer Dr. Carver played by Cliff Robertson doesn't like criers. Anyway this movie is fast paced, but it gets a decent story across about a young girl who overcomes odds, at a time the odds are death threatening and makes her dreams come true. A real heartwarming movie.

brianna78 Maybe I am just sentimental, but I love this movie. I saw it when it first came out when I was about 13 or 14. It is a sweet story and Michael Schoeffling (playing Al Carver) is one of my favorite actors. He is no longer acting. I believe he quit his acting career to raise his family (which I think is commendable). Thestoryline is interesting and romantic. I love horses and watching them dive is pretty phenomenal. I don't know how close it is to the true story, but it'sfascinating to watch Sonora (played by Gabrielle Anwar) overcome suchtremendous obstacles. It is a safe movie to show any child and most girls will like it if only because of the horses. Almost all of the characters are memorable and play their parts well. Well worth the viewing!

cmyklefty I do not know how many times I watched this movie. It enjoyable every time I see it. Gabrielle Anwar who plays Sonora a runaway is desperately to make her dreams true as a driving girl. A lesson worth learn about in the film. All the performances are great. A film worth the celluloid it printed.
