Leave your thoughts about The Electric Horseman.
| New York TimesVincent CanbyAt this point, I think it's reasonably safe to say that The Electric Horseman is the best American romantic comedy of 1979. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Electric Horseman is the kind of movie they used to make. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldWarmhearted romance with an anti-corporate perspective. |
| NewsweekJack KrollIf The Electric Horseman has a flaw, it's that the movie's so warm and cozy it can hardly be electrifying. The director, Sydney Pollack, gives us solid entertainment, but he doesn't take chances and he probably didn't intend to. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIn their second appearance, Redford and Fonda have charm and show good chemistry but, they are too old for this formulatic, old-fashioned romantic comedy about a burnt-out rodeo star and TV journalist |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWith its good intentions and likable demeanor, The Electric Horseman is an engaging but minor movie. It makes another amiable and thoughtful vehicle for two of our most charismatic stars, while never quite entering the world of action and ideas that hover just beyond the horsey humor and tumbling tumbleweeds of the story. |
| Parallax ViewRichard T. JamesonThe Electric Horseman charms and ultimately conquers through high spirits. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe middle is heavy on romance between the two stars -- both megawatt powers in 1979 -- but the central plot, about a stolen horse for God's sake! -- doesn't carry the weight director Sydney Pollack might like us to believe. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA moderately entertaining film, but no screen magic from Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. The pic is overlong, talky and diffused. |
| User ReviewLisa MIs there anything better than Jane Fonda and Robert Redford in film together plus a soundtrack by Willie Nelson. |
