The Black Stallion Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The director, Carroll Ballard, and the cinematographer, Caleb Deschanel, have captured so many lavishly beautiful images that the cumulative effect is one of repetition.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
The first half of the picture, set on the desert island, is magnificent, lightly invoking the eerie stillness and spiritual ambience of Australian efforts like Walkabout and Picnic at Hanging Rock. The second part is far more conventional.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
will naturally speak to children, but without excluding those adults who still remember what it was like to be a child and how to see the world through a child's eyes-as difficult an artistic feat as I can imagine
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Beautifully phortographed and surprisingly good.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
First-rate adaptation of the well-loved children's classic
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Children of all ages can appreciate its simple, dialogue-light storytelling, while adults will relish it as ... a breathtaking piece of filmmaking.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Breathtakingly beautiful, truly magical movie.
Boston Globe
Michael Blowen
The Black Stallion is a magical fable that basks in shimmering imagery, innocent wonder and the romantic longings that we thought Hollywood had left behind in the '50s.
TIME Magazine
Frank Rich
Ballard's sumptuous images exist only to distract from his rather conventional failings of craftsmanship.
Variety
Variety Staff
Carroll Ballard's feature debut is rich in adventure, suspense and mythical elements and marks the prize-winning short-subjects director as a major talent.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Deepens into a far more powerful entertainment through matchless cinematography and talented supporting players.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film represents a studied, sophisticated approach to instinctual emotions: it's carefully, calculatingly naive, and amazingly it works.
Metro
Matt Prigge
It does what the middle section of Terrence Malick's 'The Tree of Life' does too: It makes us kids again in the sense that everything we see feels rich, thrilling and most of all new.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Tells the enchanting story of a boy whose life is enriched by his relationship with a magnificent horse.
TV Guide
A simple film, sentimental but not mawkish, as enjoyable for adults as it is for children.
