I liked it a lot and watched it twice. I enjoyed the film making skills and cinematography, the location and beautiful scenery. Also the quiet determination of the family with the occasional bleakness of the landscape.

Aus Liebe zum Mustang
(2017)
Special
24 December 2021
We came across this documentary by accident on Netflix, and from my viewpoint is outstanding. We are interested in horses although like another good documentary 'Dark Horse' this is as much about the background, emotions and challenges of the people that I imagine could appeal to anyone.
It was also interesting to understand more about the German horse culture and the passion, expertise and methods of the trainers.
The filming and pacing are good with an excellent arc to the story. There are multiple perspectives left for the viewer to interpret which seems a good approach.

Deep Water
(2006)
Fascinating Journey
21 December 2006
Deep Water examines the pressures and ambitions on an ordinary man in a compelling documentary. The testimony and archive footage are a fascinating insight to the late 1960's and a ground-breaking round the world yacht race. The personal conflicts of duty to family, self and reputation are played out in one of the most memorable and affecting films I have seen. I was not familiar with the history of this story and the drama was successfully and clearly directed. The story is mostly respectful to the participants with heroes and villains implied rather than ruthlessly exposed. Most of the interpretation is left open to the viewer allowing room to personally relate to the situations and characters. This movie is a bitter sweet experience with an entertaining mix of thoughtful suspense, joy and drama.
Saw the point 2nd time around
2 January 2003
When I first saw the Two Towers I thought the changes very distracting and incomplete. 2nd time around I stopped comparing it to the book and actually enjoyed it very much, there is some extra depth introduced to the characters and the story, the success of this extra depth is normally revealed if there is an improvement on further viewings.
The movie suffers a little from trying to be all things to all people, however its more interesting in the long run for having more angles. I spoke to some people who thought the love story was their favourite part. If more care is taken with the story lines, humour, action and dialogue, there will be more immediacy as well as depth.
I hope Peter Jackson takes his time a bit more with the next one.
