Flicka movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: The latest version of this beloved kid-loves-horse story has everything a film requires to attract an equine-crazy audience of all ages. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: This Flicka may not be a classic, but it's a nice afternoon's entertainment, particularly for girls who ride wild horses in their dreams. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: At its best, the movie sounds like a standard Hollywood product in an automatic heartfelt mode. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Alison Lohman is appropriately tousled as the rebellious teen, who identifies with the horse she's struggling to tame, but her performance is alternately shrill and pouty. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It's got lovely vistas, and earnest performances, and Allison Lohman... is very believable. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Not to beat, well, a dead horse, but, despite its lovely scenery, likable cast and pro-mustang message, this Flicka seems superfluous and manipulative. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Set against the gorgeous backdrop of a Wyoming mountain range, [Flicka] offers up fantasy footage for every strong-willed girl who ever straddled a saddle. Read more
Annemarie Moody, Arizona Republic: Breathtaking scenery and the sweet story of a girl, her dad and a special horse make Flicka a worthwhile family flick. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: [A] lovably corny adaptation of Mary O'Hara's grade-school classic, My Friend Flicka. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: A new yet insistently old-fashioned spin on the kid-lit classic My Friend Flicka. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: A guaranteed tearjerker. Read more
David Gilmour, Globe and Mail: As things progress, the magic of the story asserts itself over the audience. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: This is the kind of movie that many families are looking for, but all too rarely receive. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: It takes a pristine gift for mediocrity to ruin Mary O'Hara's muscular children's novel about a wild boy and his wild horse, but director Michael Mayer has brought off the massacre with aplomb. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A movie which seems designed to do nothing more than feature some pretty pictures of horses and possibly move a few units of a tie-in soundtrack. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Horse-mad tweens may not notice its flaws, but with a defter touch, even this familiar story might have made for a more exciting ride. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Girl meets horse yet again in this entertainingly ridiculous update of Mary O'Hara's 1941 childrens novel, My Friend Flicka. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A perfectly pleasant updating of the story, well-acted, nicely directed and beautifully photographed. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The apparent lesson of the movie? Keep disobeying your parents and you'll eventually get your way. Read more
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star: Alison Lohman, the 27-year-old actress who plays Katy, makes the whole thing worth watching. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: To call this the best horse-and-kid picture since The Black Stallion a quarter century ago is true but misleading; it's not really either an animal or a kids' film but rather a young adult drama that rings emotionally true. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: A well-made family drama pitched to young adults that's honest, tough and surprisingly engaging. Read more
