Timeline of the film makes the main romantic pairing appear such that it's pretty uncomfortable, though everything appears to be fine in the real Sonora Webster's life so I'll just have to get over that part. Weakest point of the film is its predictability; most of the story is paint-by-numbers, but it still earns a place among good film choices for younger audiences for the story's underlying message—especially because it's true.

Fantastic stuff! I rather loved watching 'Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken'. That's despite a few uneasy things about it, one being the love story (under/age gap?) and the other being that it involves diving horses; which I had no knowledge of before now... what an insanely messed up thing that was! The film is, though, based on true events so it's difficult to judge it on those parts. I'm just saying, it did make me feel iffy watching at times. Away from that, the film has a lot of great things going in its favour. Starting with the cast. Gabrielle Anwar is outstanding in the lead role as Sonora, particularly across the third act. A top, top performance from her. Michael Schoeffling (Al) and Cliff Robertson (Doc) are very good, also. Those three work very nicely together - impressive casting. I really rate how the film's made, the score in particular is awesome; as is the editing. The premise is extremely watchable, I was locked in throughout the 88 minutes. It has humour and heart. Another hidden gem in Disney's live-action collection. Watch it if you can.

This is one of those movies that I saw when I was younger that really stuck with me. In fact, I could remember almost all of the plot and my favorite parts, but I couldn't remember the name of the movie! I only saw it once or twice but that was all I needed to remember it. I remember her determination and resolve and my excitement at seeing the risks she took and how everything played out. It's been a while since I've seen this movie, but I was very impressed by it and I recommend giving it a shot.

This was definitely a movie that I didn’t think I would like, but once it got going it definitely sucked me in.
