Wonderful. And for those that saw the film, the book has a different ending. Beyond that the screenplay followed it closely and we learn back story that's left out of the movie which makes this well worth adding to your list. A brief 5 star review tomorrow.

For those who have not seen the film and enjoy stories of redemption and change, I urge you to add this to your list. The horse is a metaphor for what's possible in life and the characters carry it through

A beautiful story that illuminates how we can overcome the past and allow a future filled with possibilities

Nicely done in all respects. A balance of redemption, change and inspiration centered around a man with unique healing abilities and a mother and daughter in need of them

I find it it unusual that Evans didn't write the screenplay since all he'd written prior to this was scripts. But it's clear he had a say since the it followed the book closely and creative liberties studios normally take were left out

One of benefits of reading a book the film was adapted is depth of character back story. We also learn the severity of the damage from the accident to Pilgrim. Great storytelling regardless

Outstanding! For those that loved the film I urge you to read the book it was adapted from

Rare to see a screen play that follows the book as closely as this one. As a film buff the Oscar winning Robert Redford, Kristin Scott Thomas film is a work of art and it's no wonder since was the debut novel of a screen writer!
