Patric B I found this an uncomfortable watch. The cast other than Irvine do a solid job but, strangely considering who directed it, it’s really let down by the direction and cinematography. The sentimentality really comes through in the final scene where Joey comes home and the lighting has been so filtered that it looks like it was shot through a jar of marmalade. This scene was enough to make the audience in my local cinema laugh out loud (and I’ve never experienced an audience laughing AT a film before) and has become a family joke. We don’t have any other film where that applies, even though we make jokes about characters, actors etc. This is the only one where we have a family joke about the director. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Spielburg’s direction brings a sweeping sense of scale to the battle sequences while maintaining a deeply personal narrative. The cinematography is breathtaking, contrasting the stark reality of war with the serene countryside. The film also features strong performance, particularly from Albert, whose determination to reunite with Joey drives much of the story’s emotional depth Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Allanilton D O FILME E LINDO DEMAIS! SEU ÚNICO DEFEITO E FALTAR DE CARISMA COM OS PERSONAGENS HUMANOS Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Daniel F This is a movie I'll be watching with my children to grandchildren. Not many movies come along with an amazing storyline followed by beautiful cinematography. How could anyone dislike a film with an ongoing story of a horse that endured so much to end back in full circle. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review A true masterpiece. My favorit move. It is a perfect story. I highly recommend this to everybody who likes good moves. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Dave S While Steven Spielberg's War Horse is clearly one of his most polished films over a career of highly polished films, it is also one of his soppiest and shamelessly manipulative efforts. The production values, as always, are top-notch, but, instead of using the characters and story to generate emotion, Spielberg uses the swelling score by John Williams to dictate to the audience exactly how they should be feeling at any given moment. A similar idea – the life of an animal and its relationship with humans – was explored to much greater effect in Robert Bresson's 1966 classic Au Hasard Balthazar, an austere film that never panders to the audience nor feels the need to explain itself or the emotions it generates.
