Rating: 9/10
Helen Hunt directs as well as stars in this terrific film. With
incredibly raw power and overwhelming imagery, this is a motion picture
that deserves a wide release so that all may experience true film
greatness. Hunt not only directs brilliantly, she gives what may well
be the performance of a lifetime. Beautifully photographed and
elegantly scored, the movie will seduce audiences with its incredibly
story. The script is intelligent and literate and provides a story of
magnificent yet subtle power. Seldom in the history of cinema do all
elements needed for true greatness come together in such sublime
fashion. Ride is indeed one of those rare instances.
