Cheesy Hollywood drama, that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't taken a full three hours to include some horrific romance elements. There's a better (though still not great) film hidden away in there, but with Redford directing and taking on the lead, it's clear that this was more about ego than good filmmaking.
Thomas is decent, Johansson is rather annoying. The setting is nice though, rural America felt pleasant enough and Redford's relationship with the horse felt genuine. The human drama was less interesting and the romance between him and Thomas felt off. If anything, this is another good example that few films are worth a 150+ minute runtime.
