"One of the most heartwarming and moving films in years, BUCK is the true and inspiring story of Buck Brannaman, the real-life Horse Whisperer who inspired the Robert Redford film of the same name. A gentle man, Buck travels the country teaching people not how to “break” horses but how to respond to and work with them, how to partner with them rather than dominate them with fear. A child star of sorts, Buck was brutally beaten by his father and learned first-hand how panic and dominance is no way to gain loyalty. A story of personal redemption, a gripping drama about dealing with wounded souls (both owners and animals) and a magical look at one man’s gift for bonding with the wild, this film by first-time director Cindy Meehl is one of the most crowd-pleasing and talked about movies of the year and a Cinderella story in its own right."
