About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, adventurous family story with Irish folklore touches and big heart, similar to The Secret of Roan Inish; Not for you if you dislike cozy melodrama or kid-led escapades.
Pros: heartfelt and uplifting; magical horse adventure; Irish landscapes and culture | Cons: uneven kid-focused tone; hard-to-catch dialogue; some hokey moments
