From the top of his stetson to the tip of his dusty boots, Buck Brannaman looks every inch the Wild West hero. As he lopes through the lobby of a trendy London hotel, you can’t help wondering what he’s doing in here, rather than riding a palomino across the plains. Complete article >

A strong vibe of comfort, of serenity and reassurance, radiates from its frames. The fascinating, elusive subject matter of the documentary, the vast picturesque green vistas of the southern grazing lands captured so lovingly, so reverently, by the poised, perceptive lens, and the patient narrative that is thoughtful and romantic in parts yet alarmingly realistic in others render “Buck” a quintessentially American film devoid of the many trappings of American films.

‘BUCK’ teaches hard-learned lessons
Jana J. Monji
Straight from the school of hard-knocks, comes Buck Brannaman. As the youngest son of “Ace” and Carol Brannaman, he first came to national attention as a shy boy, who, with his older brother, had a talent for rope tricks. They were on national cereal commercials, but you might know Buck best as the horse whisperer–the man who inspired a book and later worked with Robert Redford on the movie by the same name, “The Horse Whisperer.” Director Cindy Meehl’s “Buck” is a picturesque documentary that tells a hopeful story about redemption through hard work and humility.

Buck’s video interview starts with the trailer at 17:31 and continues through to 21:10.
We especially like when Buck says “Something I learned that I didn’t expect… doesn’t matter where you live – things that touch you in a spiritual way – we’re all the same”.
What the horse whisperer can teach humans

BUCK Brannaman is your typical Hollywood cowboy: he’s unflappable, speaks deliberately and wears his wide-brimmed hat with formal aplomb.
He is typical in appearance anyway. Brannaman, the subject of an affecting new documentary, is a reluctant star.
“I’m not delusional about this,” he notes while promoting the film, Buck, in Melbourne.
