The A.V. Club
With solid, stately acting, and landscapes that could convert atheists, The Horse Whisperer tugs heartstrings without seeming self-conscious.

ReelViews
A film as rich in its visual presentation as it is in its emotional resonance.

Entertainment Weekly
All the nuggets of spoken wisdom rattle around with a tad too much space and (at 2 1/2 hours plus) too much length.

Robert Redford, who for the first time stars in a movie he's also directed, has taken this soap opera material and treated it like something inscribed on yak vellum by the Dalai Lama.

Chicago Reader
There are times when this leisurely movie seems so much in love with its own virtue and nobility that there's not much room left for the spectator.
