Reviews

The lexicon of international films described Flicka as "[s] olide, albeit conventional entertainment for cuddling and well-being, where at best the hymn of praise meets American virtues."

The Rotten Tomatoes website analyzed 75 reviews, of which only 53% were positive. The site sums up that children could identify with the rebellious main character, but adults would find a film with "flat characters, exaggerated dialogue and a story that wanders out to the country and never returns."
