Orphan Horse is a 2018 family adventure drama film directed by Sean McNamara. Stars such as Jon Voight, Alexa Nissenson, Wile Bloom, Eva LaRue, Philip Boyd, Scott Summitt and Isabella Blake Thomas play roles in this film.
The film tells the story of a teenage girl who lost her mother and was taken care of by a family. But his father beat him and his mother treats him violently. Finally, the girl runs away from home and takes refuge with a farmer and becomes very familiar with his horse. The old man who has lost his family is interested in the girl and takes care of her. The police, who are looking for the girl, found her in the field and noticed the bruise on her back.

Don't listen to bad reviews! This is a pleasant, easy to watch, good family movie! Especially if you like horses and family!
It's about an orphan horse (duh) and other orphans. Maybe that sounds depressing, but it is a delightful movie. And it has a happy ending of course.
I guess there are a few parts that are difficult. IMO nothing that's going to drastically upset children, well, idk for sure. Depends on the child oc.
Not sure if this qualifies as spoilers: Wolves, horse put down, horrible foster parents -- all rough stuff. OTOH no cursing at all, you don't actually /see/ anyone or any animal actually shot or hurt. But anyone mature enough will know what happened.
There's also some intrigue - but I won't spoil it.
Acting was good, the little girl, very good. And don't believe whoever wrote about audio being bad. It's wasn't I've /heard/ movies with bad audio and this wasn't bad at all. Production was good, filming, srsly no complaints.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually teared up a little at the end. I'd recommend it to my kids and younger grandkids. Our youngest g-kid is 4 -- and he would enjoy it and would most prolly miss what happened to the horse badly hurt by the wolves...

The two main characters, Jon Voight and Alexa Nisensen,play very well off each other and make you really like them. Voight's character is slightly reminiscent of Walter Matthau's in the movie Kotch. A superficially grouchy old guy who really cares a lot. One reviewer below seemed to dislike it because it was too cliched and full of tricks to tug at your emotions. He also complained that it had no subtitles. Subtitles?? It's in English, dude.
Yes, it may be "formulaic" in the tearjerker style, but after all, when you get down to it, don't most movies, or stories, follow some sort of type? And this one is very well done.
