War Horse
CriticsCritics: 73
AudienceAudience: 7.3
On the brink of the First World War, a young boy’s bond with his beloved horse is upended when the animal is sold to the cavalry. As the Great War rages, the horse’s journey brings danger, joy, and sorrow, while the boy searches battlefields to bring him home.
My takeYou’ll like War Horse if you enjoy sweeping, tear-jerking friendship stories set against World War I, with danger and hope woven together; Not for you if you want realistic war history or prefer less sentiment, like in Saving Private Ryan or The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
