What critics compared The Horse Whisperer to
As Gerry's caring, but prejudiced girlfriend, Kate Bosworth (1998's "The Horse Whisperer") makes a minor impression with her few touching scenes in the second half, and Hayden Panettiere (1999's "Message in a Bottle"), as Assistant Coach Yoast's determined and precocious 9-year-old daughter, Cheryl, who narrates the picture as an adult, is appropriately precocious, delicately balancing her childish innocence with a wise-beyond-her-years dedication to her father's profession.
Richard LaGravenese, the screenplay writer of The Fisher King , A Little Princess , The Bridges of Madison County , and The Horse Whisperer , is the director of Freedom Writers.
LaGravenese ("The Horse Whisperer") has a tendency to sanitize every scene.
Directed by David Fincher (Zodiac, Fight Club) and written by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Horse Whisperer), the film is strangely mundane given the fantastical premise.
Once Henson overcame the incredulity of landing a role she viewed as a moon shot, she describes the adapted script from Eric Roth (who also wrote “Lucky You,” “The Good Shepherd,” “Munich,” “Ali,” “The Horse Whisperer” and “Forrest Gump”) and the direction from David Fincher (“Zodiac,” “Panic Room,” “Fight Club” and “Se7en”) as having come to fruition through “bold choices”.
