SUMMARY
Jane Campion’s literary biopic tells the true story of Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), a 23-year-old Londoner in 1818 whose independent streak manifests itself through an intense interest and love for fashion and dressmaking. Her neighbor, the struggling but gifted young poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw), underestimates her intelligence because he believes she’s frivolous, and she, having no interest in literature, seems thoroughly disinterested in him. However, Fanny attempts to help the Keats family

SUMMARY
Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets-British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter-before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse-an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure.

FILM REVIEWS

  • The Telegraph - Steven Spielberg’s War Horse is a soaring, sprawling epic that harks back to the dream-big visionaries of old Hollywood
  • The Independent -  Through sheer cumulative effect, and some superb acting, War Horse transcends manipulativeness and sentiment to become a very powerful film indeed. 
  • Empire- War Horse is bold, exquisite family filmmaking in the grandest Hollywood tradition. Be warned: whether you’re a hippophile or not, it’s a four-hankie movie going experience.

    • Guardian Review – “The stand-off between Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier while making The Prince and the Showgirl is recreated wonderfully in this entertaining film”
    • Time Out - “At moments hilarious and others touching, it’s a sweet, slight affair, more pretty pageant than pithy biographical drama”
