Los Angeles Times, Betsy Sharkey<\/strong>
\nBuck’ a documentary with plainspoken power<\/strong>
\nSometimes a film comes along that answers a question that you didn\u2019t realize you had. At the Sundance Film Festival\u00a0this year, that movie is \u201cBuck,\u201d an exceptional slice of Americana about the charismatic real-life horse whisperer, an earthy, soft-spoken philosopher who can tame troubled souls, be they man or beast.

New York Times, David Carr<\/strong>
\nYou Can Also Lead a Horse to Nirvana. LAST Sunday evening, Buck Brannaman strolled the High Line, two stories above the streets of Manhattan and hundreds of miles from his native habitat, the ranch country where he runs clinics in enlightened horsemanship. The documentary \u201cBuck,\u201d which won a Sundance audience award this year and will open on Friday in New York and Los Angeles, details his shaman-like skills around horses and the people who ride them.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times – The best documentaries of 2011<\/strong>
\nOne of the big documentary hits of the year. Buck Brannaman was the original “horse whisperer,” the character who Nicholas Evans based his novel on and Robert Redford used as the on-set consultant for his film. He has a way with horses, and Cindy Meehl’s documentary is moving as he shows them engaged in dances of understanding.

\nBuck in Top 10 for 2011.<\/strong> \u00a0\u201cBuck\u201d: A touching documentary about Buck Brannaman, the inspiration for Robert Redford’s\u00a0equine trainer in \u201cThe Horse Whisperer.\u201d Brannaman overcame a Dickensian childhood to become a world-famous horse handler known for his uncanny ability to communicate with the animals.

\nBuck Makes Top 10<\/strong>. \u00a0\u201cBuck\u201d: Few of us city dwellers ever get to meet the sort of American portrayed in Cindy Meehl\u2019s documentary\u2014a middle-age cowboy who gives horse-training clinics. Even in his own territory, though, Buck Brannaman is one of a kind, a man who has learned to give horses the love he lacked as a child.
