AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
OllieSuave-007 I saw this movie in a middle school class. It was quite an adventurous story, about a daredevil woman who rides horses off of high dives. However, an accident involving one of the horse falling off a very high platform changes her life forever.It was a somewhat entertaining, dramatic and adventurous movie from what I remember, with some good acting and a good story-line with achieving one's goals.It's also quite a nostalgic film that reminds you of the old days (as it is set during the Great Depression). It's a good one for the entire family.Grade B
desertrose0601 Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken is a wonderful movie that deserves to be watched. The writers did a great job capturing the essence of this true story. It's inspiring and endearing, full of energy and romance. I absolutely LOVE this movie. It always feels fresh and new, like I'm discovering it all over again every time I watch it.I love the cinematography in this movie. Each shot is set up like a piece of art, capturing the scenery and the mood just right. The actors play each scene deliberately and with purpose, giving you a real sense of what it must've been to live in the Depression era.This movie is perfect for all ages. I'm nearly 30, and I discovered this as my favorite movie when I was 11. I've watched it dozens of times over the years, and will continue to watch it for years to come.
hilarys778 Absolute schmaltz, this movie is the core of many girl-nights and sleepovers from my youth. Michael Schoeffling is so delicious, and I don't know why he never made it too bigtime. I think Gabrielle Anwar is talented in her subtlety, even though this movie is so Disney, so superficial and sugary. Red-headed carnival boy (plays role of "Clifford") is pretty good too.It's nice, it's family-friendly...take it to entertain some young girls while babysitting or something.I cannot believe they make us write these things to ten lines. Am I in detention? I mean, really now, I used to believe in "brevity is the soul of wit" and all that. Anyhoo, here's your stinkin' 10 lines. Have a g'day, dear reader of mine. Cheers.
cmyklefty I do not know how many times I watched this movie. It enjoyable every time I see it. Gabrielle Anwar who plays Sonora a runaway is desperately to make her dreams true as a driving girl. A lesson worth learn about in the film. All the performances are great. A film worth the celluloid it printed.
