So i officially got to 7.46 into the film. Already irritated with the terrible acting i tried to push through, it just got worse... Seriously how could a movie that had such potential turn out like this. I can't even bring myself to watch the rest of the movie because of the bad acting, everything was too put on. I don't even want to get started on the terrible voice over bits that they have shoved in there at times when they should rather just leave it. Thankfully i came to read the reviews before i tortured myself with over an hour of utter nonsense... I'd rather just go watch the previous Black Beauty movie, it might be old but hey at least they new how to act back in the day. Not even worth killing time watching this... I'd rather watch paint dry.
The main actress appeared very motivated in helping the horse. I would give her that 100%. Her expressions are very beautiful and sincere, so I can see why she was chosen to have that role. Grandpa did a good job as well. He appeared very generous and close to his granddaughter.
The other characters were a bit off, but they were pretty irrelevant to the movie theme.
I think folks may be a bit disappointed cause they're used to the Disney formats. But I think the movie did a good job portraying the struggles of a teenager fitting in, and how she's able to put the energy into something she enjoys, the country, the horse, and life simplicity.

I need to review this film as I couldn't disagree more with the low rating. First of all, you most likely need to be a horse lover, or at the very least a person who has a passion for animal rescue. I think one of the things that throw people is that the story is told in short scenes that are woven together to make the whole film, and there are times when just music is played. Another enjoyment of the movie for me are the two known actors, Luke Perry (R. I. P.) and Bruce Davison. So likeable. The climax is not what you would expect either, but again, those of us who relate to animals in a real way know that this is an ending that makes sense. Speaking of endings, the last few minutes is heart-warming beyond words, but again, it may not be relatable to those who haven't been around horses. I give this film high marks on the "feel better that I watched" meter. This movie has heart, and you need to actually have one to appreciate this kind of art.
I knew Daniel Zirilli, the man who produced and directed this firm. He passed a few weeks ago. He never had a large budget as I'm sure was the case with Black Beauty, but was responsible for dozens of films that gave actors, new and old, and character actors the chance to practice their craft. While most of Daniel's works were more violent action thrillers, this one is different. Clearly, he loved the film he created. This was one of Luke Perry's first movie opportunities. Look at Black Beauty closely keeping in mind that it was produced on a limited budget and you can appreciate what Daniel accomplished. It is a beautiful movie.
Honestly i dont care for the rest of the movie i thought it was ok. but talise zirilli really showed out. she has phenomenal skills in the acting world. she really showed out. shes the hidden star.
