I don't have a child with autism but if I did I would be insulted by the ignorance of the writers/producers. Autism is not a disease to be cured. It can be treated and managed and helped, including with methods like working with animals, but it's not a sickness to be cured.

And I don't suppose they went into this expecting to get any Oscars for acting (and I didn't watch it expecting any Oscar worthy acting), but couldn't they have found a better child actor for the autistic character?

Was just hoping for a little feelgood, Heartland type vibes, but the movie didn't produce, unfortunately. I liked the female actors though.

Cheesy movie and subpar acting, but I really enjoyed it. The movie could have been better with better actors. No Academy Awards here, but the movie has a great message. We need more feel-good movies like this.

There have been many studies proving horses help ASD children/people as well as people with MS. Even though I find some of the aspects of this movie far fetched, it sure beats most of the garbage filled movies being produced these days. I would love to know the true story. Horses do have a calming effect on people which can help with healing. I call them my Xanax. Just being around them can lift your spirits when you've had a rough day. I would definitely recommend this movie. It may not be good for younger children due to the intensity of the tornado scene and the pyromaniac character. It's a tear jerker.

There is no little man watching everyone everywhere all at once. Take a realistic look at what religion is. The Bible says it's true because it's the Bible. Really? Religion is a way for the powerful to keep control. You people who watch this movie and love it's "Christian Message" are all being duped. Wake up already.

Loved this. A True story about the way God works through people & animals. Honestly some of the supporting cast were a bit mediocre but the core performances were moving when it mattered & wherever the acting fell short the sheer magnificence of the story itself is sure to warm you heart. Again personally I loved this having been healed myself from childhood trauma & changed forever through the healing power of animals. Well worth the watch.
