| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn extraordinary documentary about a cowboy who models the spiritual practice of reverence. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamThrough photos and family lore, but mostly through Dayton's own eloquence, Mitchell assembles a biographical portrait that's inspiring in the best possible way. |
| The New York TimesAnita GatesThe burning question is why Mr. Hyde’s story has never been made into a feature film. You’ve got big sky, a crazy but magnetically confident old coot, a noble but seemingly hopeless quest and a triumphant ending. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonBeautiful lensing by Mauro Brattoli and an evocative score Steve Poltz enrich the pic’s flavor as a document of, and a tribute to, an iconic cowboy’s indomitable spirit. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweAn appealing documentary about one of the American West’s unique cowboy conservationists. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireMitchell’s documentary is modest and rambling, too — perhaps too much so. |
| User ReviewElle CThe man, the movie, made me cry. What a privilege to learn of such a caring, loving, giving man. |
| User ReviewDeb SI thought it was a movie only for horse lovers but it was so much more. I wish Dayton O. Hyde was my father or grandfather. What an inspirational man, mission and movie. |
| User ReviewAbigail WDayton O Hyde is such a character; his language is beautiful and he has an intimate connection to the land he devotes his life to. I loved his writing before seeing the film, but his experiences in the American west add so much complexity to it. I find both the content and the technical aspects of this documentaries emotionally intelligent and beautiful. The shots of the landscape combined with Dayton's dialogue is absolutely brilliant. Anyone interested in conservationism, wild mustangs, the American West, or the creative development of an artist will undoubtedly adore this documentary. It is one of the most superb documentaries I have seen in a while. It really surpassed my expectations. It opens today and I cannot stress enough how much you should see it! |
