| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersRevisiting The Horse Whisperer fifteen years later, I am relieved to encounter a film that isn't simply marking time until a climactic moment that was for me a cherished eureka at the movies. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesI fell head over heels in love with this powerful but subtle movie. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellMr. Redford has found his own visually eloquent way to turn the potboiler into a panorama, with a deep-seated love for the Montana landscape against which his rapturously beautiful film unfolds. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeBy the way it's shot and directed, it's easy to see how people can spend their entire lives in the country. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsWallace BaineThe long lead-in eventually comes to a powerful emotional payoff, particularly for anyone who has experienced a bond with an animal. |

| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsOne of those rare films that combines sensitive film making with inspiring story-telling. |

| The A.V. ClubJoshua KleinWith solid, stately acting, and landscapes that could convert atheists, The Horse Whisperer tugs heartstrings without seeming self-conscious. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA film as rich in its visual presentation as it is in its emotional resonance. |
