Unsatisfying

I LOVE horse movies, and was all prepped to love Warhorse - but the movie, like the horse, never made it over the first hurdle. The casting was bad - horse, boy, girl, dad, you name it -- not one seemed real or convincing. In fact they all seemed sort of dim-witted. Badly written and badly directed and badly scored - how you get a horse to over-act a part is beyond me, but when he had a 'big scene,' they made sure you knew it. The whole thing was heavy-handed, with all the charm and subtlety of a sledgehammer.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

An intense, nerve-wracking film; extremely well written, acted, and directed with maybe one minor character and two scenes that were badly out of synch with the real-life quality of the film. It's hard to call it beautiful, since it shows the results of brutality and war quite graphically and yet mundanely, but visually, it is an extraordinary film. Anyone who ever asks why so much PTSD from Iraq just needs to see this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
