Instant nostalgia & great Spielberg moviemaking

Superb enjoyment with scenes and lighting reminiscient of Gone with the Wind and Black Beauty. Works very well for this story and the technologies that create such visual drama aren't apparent at all. The horse is truly the star, as it should be.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

hits close to home

In that I travel well over 100 days a year, I could relate to this story. George Clooney is at his best, and I'm happy to see the grey in his hair and maturity in style. The story will hit home, maybe too hard, for those with recent job losses in their family. But it is nothing if not poignant and heartfelt - it feels quite real. Some will claim the weak spot as Anna Kendrick, the top-of-the-class business school hire at Clooney's firm with prim and proper, textbook ways. But I have known several of these types at my firms in past years, and there really is no overacting. Every frame of this film is real - in someone's life. It is not spectacular or shattering, but mindful and memorable in the best ways of a well-told story.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
