Its more than a typical "family" film. Personally Im not into cozy melodramatic family films. And if you're not, you should like this. Its a cheer-up kind of movie and I don't mean its sappy and for kids only. Heres a run-down of the films best features:
* Gabriel Byrne!
* A different kind of feel here with much emphasis on family ties and a sense of turning things around for the better.
* A beautiful white horse that makes you want to find a magical horse of your own. The horse's acting is lovely as well!
* Great portrayals of Irish "Gypsy life" instead of cheap stereotyping that you usually find. You root and hope for them all the way.
* Ellen Barkin does an awesome job with her character and she can do a great Irish accent. Colm Meany is also in this film and hes cool as usual.
* Adorable children who know how to act better than a lot of adults.
* And.....did I mention Gabriel Byrne? 8P
