The Mustang
Matthias Schoenaerts is a violent convict who finds himself taming wild mustangs with Bruce Dern as rehabilitation in this redemption drama.
"Roman Coleman is a tightly wound convict fresh out of solitary confinement at a maximum security prison in the Nevada desert. Still wary of human contact, Roman enrolls in a tough but rewarding rehabilitation program learning to train wild mustangs. Under the tutelage of grizzled trainer Myles (Dern), he takes charge of an ornery horse in the hopes of preparing it for an annual auction. With the wild animal acting as a mirror for his own raging emotions, Roman must learn to tame not only the mustang but also the beast within." (Sundance Film Festival)

Variety
press"The Mustang" has an arc you can trace, but you will not, I promise you, predict the final shot, and it's a beauty - a tearjerker as delicate as they come.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDe Clermont-Tonnerre shows admirable restraint, knowing that, in her carefully constructed frames, it can be enough just to get Roman's newly compassionate eyes into a close-up with the expressionless eye of a horse.

press'The Mustang' delivers one narrative surprise after the next, not with dramatic twists and turns, but with simple human growth and understanding.
