About This Movie

Hacksaw is a curious gem from the early '70s that dives into the world of a young girl and her bond with a wild horse. The pacing is gentle, allowing for a nice build-up of the relationship between the girl and Hacksaw, which is really the heart of the film. The atmosphere is quite evocative, capturing that sense of adventure in the mountains. Practical effects are minimal but effective, and the performances, especially by the girl, feel genuine amid a slightly dated backdrop. It has a unique charm, with its focus on freedom and trust between humans and animals, underscoring that age-old theme of overcoming obstacles. You can sense the love for the wild in every scene.
