Buck

Buck

Documentary

An examination of the life of acclaimed 'horse whisperer' Buck Brannaman, who recovered from years of child abuse to become a well-known expert in the interactions between horses and people.


The critical consensus

Fascinating if overstretched.

***(*)(*)Sam Wigley, Total Film, 02/04/2012

A touching, if occasionally overwrought look at the inspiration behind Robert Redford's Horse Whisperer.

***(*)(*)Eve Barlow, Empire Online, 10/04/2012

A feel-good documentary that doesn't shy away from the bad stuff.

****(*)Alison Rowat, The Herald, 26/04/2012

A straightforward film but one in which Brannaman’s gift and modesty shine through.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 27/04/2012

There's a whole heap of Americana to wallow in here, but it's testimony to the director and subject that Buck still trots along at such a lick.

****(*)Catherine Shoard, The Guardian, 27/04/2012

Singular in style and impressively reflective of its protagonist’s nature. Universal in theme, but may struggle to find a wide audience.

***(*)(*)Ashley Clark, Little White Lies, 26/04/2012

As enjoyable a documentary as I've seen this past couple of years.

Philip French, The Observer, 29/04/2012
