The Horse Boy (2009)
EW's GRADE
B+Details Limited Release: Sep 30, 2009; Rated: Unrated; Length: 93 Minutes; Genre: Documentary
When their son, Rowan, is diagnosed with autism (a condition that leaves him disengaged from everything but horses), journalist Rupert Isaacson and his wife make a desperate decision: They will take Rowan to the mountains of Mongolia, track down the shamans who live there, and pursue a course of mystic healing. In following the Isaacsons' journey, Michel O. Scott's documentary, The Horse Boy, turns into a lyrical and stirring meditation on the mystery of autism. The shamans see Rowan's condition less as a malady than as a force. To be overcome, it must first be embraced. B+
