It had been such a long time it was like watching it for the first time. Kristin Scott Thomas and young Scarlett Johansson are amazing in Nick Evans' moving and perceptive story of redemption, screenwritten by Eric Roth and Richard LaGravenese. A real epic, running two hours forty but not a second too long, A very well made film, sensationally photographed by Robert Richardson (in 1.85:1 in NYC and 2.35:1 in Montana).
The one scene I think I would have liked is the girl and the horse before she rides him - something to say he's not scared of her. But that is a tiny note.
Unusually credits read 'Edited by Tom Rolf', then 'Edited by Hank Corwin and Freeman Davies', suggesting it was maybe recut? Music by Tom Newman and Gwil Owen after John Barry's score was rejected.
With Robert Redford, Sam Neill, Dianne Weist, Chis Cooper, Cherry Jones, Kate Bosworth. Scarlett in interview related how helpful was Redford (who she referred to as 'Booey' for some reason known only to her) in before every scene talking her into exactly where she was in character and story.
