I am just going to add my voice to the chorus of praise for this indie jewel of a movie. It is as near to being perfect as any I have ever seen. I will say that it is much better than other smaller budget alien films. This looks very big budget. The aliens were clean and thankfully not CGI, or at least did not look like they were. But I do love all the characters in this movie. I have rarely seen a movie where all the characters were so well developed. Even most serious dramas seldom develop each character so completely. None of these characters are stereotypes once you got into their story. A very special film and very refreshing.

Overall, I enjoyed this film. Most of the acting was good. It took me a minute to figure out who the young woman was with the disabled girl. Then I realized it was her mother. She seemed a little young for the part. But after the first scene, I was good with it. The cinematography was gorgeous and captivating. For an independent film, they had some awesome shooting angles. The colorful fall leaves makes me want to visit the New England area. I loved that the horses were used for therapy. I thought that was awesome! Although somewhat predictable, the film was uplifting and enjoyable. It seemed a little long at one point, but then it picked up.
