Movie Reviews of Into the West
Movie Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great story about modern-day gypsies or travelers, as they're known in Ireland, and the hardships faced by two brothers when their dad decides to quit the traveling life, but can't adapt. How the boys manage to survive and what happens when their grandfather brings a horse with him on his next stop in town, makes for a truly magical little story. I enjoyed it with my older grandaughter when she was around 8 or 9, and, since I couldn't find it to rent, was happy to find it here for such a reasonable price, and look forward to sharing it with her little sister on their next visit.Movie Review: We can't stop renting, so decided to buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
We first rented this movie for my 5 year old daughter, not knowing what to expect, but we knew she liked horses. We rented this movie perhaps 10 times since; she is 9 and instead of renting it again, I decided to buy it for her. This is more than a movie about a horse. it is a juxaposition of the past and present, the harsh reality of modern life and the mythology that gives life meaning. Whether Irish, English, or American, you will like this movie, and after watching it once, you will likely have to watch it again to convince yourself you understood what you saw.Movie Review: This is a wonderful film for all - not just the horse crazy
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this film. Although I originally rented it for my horse crazy daughter, I have watched it many times and always it makes me smile. It is a tale of Irish traveller boys who overcome all for the love of a horse and with a child-like, innocent sense of justice. There are sad parts, and scary parts and some teaching points regarding alcohol, loss, prejudice and acceptance. I highly recommend this film for the horse crazy and those who love a good tale presented well!Movie Review: THIS HAS EVERYTHING
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has a subtle romance, near-violence (but really no violence), humor, adventure, touching memories, kids' antics, a supernatural horse, and . . . well, all the ingredients of a first-class film. I've shown this to my English classes many times. And it always intrigues me fully!
A movie with everything--even a fairly close parallel with the spiritual principles Paul Twitchell wrote about so clearly.
A movie for everyone.
Movie Review: Celtic Myth Warmly Updated
Summary: 5 Stars
Into the West. . and into our more sensitive links with a mythic past shared by Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx and Cornish folk. This very modern yet timelessly-rooted story of two Dublin boys and a white horse is well worth the modern viewer's time. Also, it's a lot of fun, uncloyingly conceived and filmed, A worhth companion to "The Secret of Roan Inish" and "Tight Little Island" ["Whiskey Galore"]/
