Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Leofwine_draca A MAN CALLED HORSE is a solid enough western of its day, perhaps slightly dated for the modern viewer but a film that still provides a hard-hitting and thought-provoking journey. Richard Harris is well cast as the tough hunter captured by the Sioux tribe and forced to undergo all manner of indignities, tribulations, and torture as he gradually finds himself accepted by a race he previously viewed as inferior. Yep, this is the DANCES WITH WOLVES of its day, and while not as glossy or well made as that film, it's still quite engaging. What's most interesting is how much of a visual story this is, with barely any dialogue which means the film gets by on physicality alone. The torture scenes remain gruelling to this day.

edwagreen Dame Judith Anderson must have been a Cow Head or in her dotage to accept such a parent in such a pathetic movie.I don't want to hear that the Richard Harris character eventually accepts humility after he is captured by a ferocious Indian tribe and subjected to all kinds of torture.In the meantime, his two aides were killed by the tribe and that is quickly conveniently forgotten.Anderson adopts to some sort of Indian dialect in this farce. She is as brutal as they come in her treatment of the captured Harris at the beginning of his captivity.This was nothing more than a liberal propaganda like film teaching to love your enemies.

Nazi_Fighter_David The year is 1825… The story begins with a British aristocrat named John Morgan who finds himself captured by Sioux warriors… At first he's mocked and treated like an animal and then he's dragged to their camp where he is given to work for an old squaw (Judith Anderson). Before too long the 'grand white gentleman' up with another captive Batise (Jean Gascon) whose family was all massacred five years ago by the Indians acts as translator for Morgan… One day after killing two Shoshone Indians from another tribe and scalping one of them, John gains trust and respect from his captives thus paving the way to be soon a warrior, then a loving husband… The film's centerpiece is the Sun Vow that Morgan must bear to prove his courage to withstand all tests of pain in order to gain the hand of Running Dear (Corinna Tsopei) sister of Chief Yellow Hand (Manu Tupou). As the English nobleman is white, he is considered weak and he'll give up in the moment of truth… There are also other truly memorable moments in the film: how the Indian virgin prepares herself for marriage—how she takes her sweat bath to be pure; and the tragic events when an Indian mother loses and has no other son or man, how she cuts off her forefinger and when winter comes she dies from the freezing cold

spj-4 A quality movie I considered myself privileged to watch at the time & remain appreciative of! A quality movie tends to stay with the viewer when it is no longer viewed! And so it is with "A Man Called Horse", countless years beyond! Appreciation of the dilemma - white man isolated vs wilderness the indigenous have conditioned themselves to, layer by layer … vs its emerging inhabitants of seeming modern intellect & wisdom, but lacking much of what it opposes. And their interactions! Layer of justice & fairness upon layer, constantly emerging with much need for protection yet sensitivity! Not easily merging neatly.So not always pleasant, but always intriguing & engrossing & swinging like a pendulum ... still more into layer upon layer! Bravery & courage, mixed with betrayal & fear.On top of the underlying concern, both for the Indians & the pioneering spirit of the oppressed! Don't miss this intriguing interaction of mutual frontiers, much more so than the dramatic conflicts & sportsmanship of grid iron, & ice hockey, & rugby or football drama that have long superseded such civil wars, into a greater global peace!
