This movie treats autism as an illness that needs to be cured. Just feels off to me. They go on about finding a "cure," and "healing" the autistic child and it's feels distasteful... especially since the child actor seems to be a neuro-typical boy playing on common stereotypes. Lastly, I'd consider the acting fairly good for the budget of the movie. Reminds me of a hallmark movie overall, but with a few offensive undertones.

I don't have a child with autism but if I did I would be insulted by the ignorance of the writers/producers. Autism is not a disease to be cured. It can be treated and managed and helped, including with methods like working with animals, but it's not a sickness to be cured.

And I don't suppose they went into this expecting to get any Oscars for acting (and I didn't watch it expecting any Oscar worthy acting), but couldn't they have found a better child actor for the autistic character?

Was just hoping for a little feelgood, Heartland type vibes, but the movie didn't produce, unfortunately. I liked the female actors though.

There is no little man watching everyone everywhere all at once. Take a realistic look at what religion is. The Bible says it's true because it's the Bible. Really? Religion is a way for the powerful to keep control. You people who watch this movie and love it's "Christian Message" are all being duped. Wake up already.

Loved this. A True story about the way God works through people & animals. Honestly some of the supporting cast were a bit mediocre bit the core performances were moving when it mattered & wherever the acting fell short the sheer magnificence of the story itself is sure to warm you heart. Again personally I loved this having been healed myself from childhood trauma & changed forever through the healing power of animals. Well worth the watch.

Great family film! We definitely need more movies like this, so inspiring and based on a true story. Beautiful cinematically. The kids in the movie and the horses really make the film. Love the horses' personalities! Love the fight scene, the townspeople, the chemistry between Bethany and Jason characters, and the scene with Jason and the horse recovering. John Schneider is great as the town sheriff. Tornado scene is really cool. Beautiful scenes fly fishing. Music is great. Overall, a very uplifting film. Recommend for families.
