Short description

In Devon, England 1912, a teenage boy named Albert Narracott (Jeremy Irvine) watches the birth of a thoroughbred foal and watches with admiration the growth of the young horse, galloping through the fields at his mother's side.

Long description

Much to the dismay of his mother Rose (Emily Watson), his father Ted (Peter Mullan) buys the colt at auction, despite a friend pointing out a more suitable plough horse for his farm. Desiring to spite his landlord Mr Lyons (David Thewlis), and retain his pride, Ted bids higher and higher for the colt. The high cost of the horse (30 guineas) means he is unable to pay rent to Lyons, who threatens to take possession of the farm if the money is not paid by the autumn. Ted promises to meet the deadline, suggesting he could plough and plant a lower, rock-filled field with turnips. Albert names the horse Joey and devotes much time to training him. Albert's best friend, Andrew Easton (Matt Milne), watches as Albert teaches his colt many things, such as to come when he imitates the call of an owl by blowing through his cupped hands.

A boy becomes friends with a horse whom he names Joey. After he is sent to war,the boy is captured and wonders if he will ever get home. A movie about friendship and never giving up hope.

  War Horse review
Reviewed by Michelle Evert from Gordon's Bay on 06 March 2012

War Horse is a visually stunning, and genuinely heart-warming story. Joey, the stallion, is the star here, profoundly affecting all those whose ownership he comes under during The Great War. Put away your cynicism and let it sweep you away on an epic and beautiful journey. I cried like a baby!

  War Horse - an exceptional film.
Reviewed by Audrey from Springs, South Africa. on 22 October 2012

What a beautifully crafted film, heartwarming, attention to historical detail, restrained in its depiction of the horrors of the Great war. The actors were all excellent and the horses of course . . . . just amazing. Thoroughly recommended.
