    The real America Down to the smallest details. Plumber’s performance resonates deeply within.

    A sincere movie about the struggles of a teenage boy with tenacity and vigor for life. Charlie Plummer is a great actor on the rise.

    This drama is honest & heartbreaking. The young actor playing lead, Charlie Plummer, is outstanding, hitting every scene just right. Sadly many aspects of this story are quite realistic.

    Good movie until the ending which was so depressing. Not a feel good at all.

    Haigh takes what could easily have been a saccharine and emotionally manipulative story and makes something more honest. This allows the movie to earn it's most powerful moments.

    A good watch if you have the time however I expected the film to be a horse movie but it was just about the boy. I don't think the story really went anywhere after the 1 and a half hour mark. Overall the acting performances are acceptable and the first half was good but afterwards it didn't really go anywhere. I would have liked to have seen a bit more bonding with him the horse and the owner as like a father figure to him but I guess it is okay what we got in the end. So yeah decent watch but expected better. Grade: B

    I thought I was watching a movie about a horse. Turned out the horse was just part of the set. The other established actors also just have small walk on parts. It is not that Charlie Plummer does a bad job acting; his character is never really developed to the point where I give a *uck. Even his conversation with the horse does not really delve into his psyche. Gotta love what they did for the horse at the end.

    A teenage boy goes through a lot of trauma before finding maybe some peace. Emotional without being sentimental. Charlie Plummer does a great job,
