In Devon, England at the outbreak of World War I, Joey, young Albert Narracott’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He serves in the British and German armies, which takes him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before being alone in no man’s land.
Bring tissues. That’s what I was told and I thought, how ridiculous. But this is a powerful movie. This is not something I would have seen if not for review purposes, and if I hadn’t I would have lost out. This was a terrific movie and thoroughly enjoyable, just beware of occasional graphic WW1 scenes. And yes, bring tissues, lets just say the person next to you will probably need them!

I cannot wait to see War Horse. I’d never heard of it prior to reading your review, and looks like just the type of movie I’d like to see – historical realistic fiction with a hint of romance (albeit, the passion is directed toward his horse, but that doesn’t matter, lol). Thanks for sharing!

I’m a crybaby, so I’m never without my tissues. 🙂 Thanks for the info!
