Running Free: Critic Reviews

Saddled with an annoying and extensive narration track, added for fear kids couldn't follow the story without constant guidance.

The best and most thoughtful family movie so far this year.

This movie might have been more persuasive if the boy had told the story of the horse, instead of the horse telling the story of the boy.

Until we really know what animals are thinking, it's probably best to leave talking animal stories in the care of comedic filmmakers.

Running Free is the only evidence anyone will ever need to demonstrate what a ruinous trend wallpapered narration has become.

The human actors are colourless, the pacing lifeless, and the drama stillborn.

Cruel treatment of horses may upset some kids.

An empathy stretching drama about a horse trying to stay alive in adverse circumstances.

Sumamente aburrida y con una partitura grandilocuente y melosa que no tiene nada que ver con la historia

A delight for the eyes and ears.

Beautiful scenery and extraordinarily appealing shots of horses make Running Free worth a trip to the multiplex.

Sometimes thoughtful, occasionally smart and oddly exotic.

If you're looking for something child-appropriate that'll actually keep the little darlings awake for two hours straight, you'd do better ... and cheaper ... to just stay at home with the Discovery Channel.
