The mustang's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
"A tender film about forgiveness and second chances, ?The Mustang? is a testament to the worthy stories yet to be told about the healing, unbreakable bonds between tormented people and the misunderstood animals that come to their rescue."
"Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre has composed a quietly powerful portrait for her first feature, with a script so spare you almost wished people expressed themselves a bit more. Her real ace in the hole...is Schoenaerts, best known for his role as a Russian baddie in the silly and misguided J-Law spy thriller ?Red Sparrow? (2018), but delivering a breakout performance here."
Variety
"'The Mustang' isn?t a wordless movie, yet there?s so little in the way of substantial dialogue that the entire script feels like it might be 12 pages long (...) ?The Mustang? wants to immerse us in the silence of that rarefied space where man and animal connect".
The Hollywood Reporter
"A bedrock-solid performance by Matthias Schoenaerts is central to this humanist film, which is rooted in the belief that even broken people can grow".
Rolling Stone
"Above all, The Mustang marks the birth of an exceptional new filmmaker, a woman hellbent on bucking Hollywood gender bias. By any standard, that?s cause for celebration".
