It is a dicey dance to be sure, but Lucky makes the most of it upon arrival and quickly finds kindred spirits in Pru Granger (Marsai Martin) and lively Abigail (McKenna Grace) as the horse-riding duo welcome Lucky into their ranks - especially after she has befriended and impressively calmed down uncontrollable Spirit, the horse that seemingly cannot be tamed. But he is quite awkward in dealing with the idea that he is suited to bring up Lucky in a way she deserves. Her mother Milagro (Eiza Gonzalez), a true horseperson who tragically died, sees her spirit reignited in the daughter who was sent to the East Coast to live with proper Aunt Cora (Julianne Moore), who finds she cannot be tamed by that environment and decides to bring her back west to the railroad town of Miradero, where her father Jim Prescott (Jake Gyllenhaal) lives. As a film with a strong message and a nice heart, Spirit Untamed is hardly the edgy entertainment its title might indicate but rather a sweet story of a feisty girl who meets her soulmate in a horse, both determined to gallop to their own beat.Īt the center of the tale is Lucky Prescott (voiced by Isabela Merced). It also is female-driven, not only in terms of story but also behind the scenes, re-emphasizing that its target audience undoubtedly is young girls.
