There's clearly an inherent problem of a film whose central character is a horse — and whose director wants to build a genuine emotional connection between said horse and the audience — but for large numbers of cinemagoers this was a problem avoided and almost every review is agreed that on a technical level,
the film is beyond reproach.
Tilton demonstrates in this video game score that he has all the hallmarks of someone who would
be a great
film composer — not just the composition itself (which
is beyond reproach — the orchestration in particular
is so impressive) but also his dramatic sense, which
is honed to provide a gripping narrative here.
