I couldn't get past Robert Redford being the leading man while looking to be in his mid 60's. Annie MacLean (Kristin Scott Thomas) looked to be someone who was approaching middle-age, mid 30's perhaps, looking young and vibrant. Going to great lengths to help her young daughter. She obviously loves her daughter and her family. She takes a trip from the city, leaving a loving husband back at home to wait for her. Then she finds "The Horse Whisperer" a wrinkled, stoop shoulder old man living in the middle of no where. He looked like he could have been in his 70's. So, what happens when a mother in her 30's takes a trip from the city, leaving her loving husband behind, to find help in the country... Obviously she will fall in love with a wrinkled up 80 year old toad who walks around in cowboy boots and hats while grunting through his meals prepared by the women folk, and eaten off of checkerboard table cloths.
There probably was an interesting story in there somewhere, I just couldn't see past the "fish out of water" city girl, falling in love with some 90 year old guy that seemingly had absolutely nothing in common with her.
