 Great! Different, interesting, dramatic December 18, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I watched this about 3 times with my English class for a review, and you appreciate it more each time. To begin with I didn't like it, the beginning was too difficult and complicated, but because we had to pick out favourite scene from it, we had to watch it closely several times. It was a good film with such a mixture of, I don't know, themes? I enjoyed, although the song "Let's go riding waay out west!" kept getting stuck in our heads!pFor my favourite scene I chose the end, although I did love the bit when Ossie said "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" He's so cute! Anyone have any information on him or the film?
 Beautiful Movie November 10, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a beautiful movie. The opening scene is of a mystical white horse galloping along the beach at night. The music in this Movie is amazing. It captures the mystery and magic of this story. One of my favorite movies, and it is a shame that it is not made anymore.
An exquisite work!!! October 20, 1999

This is one of those films that keeps drawing you in. It's the story, the magnificent cinematography, and the performances. The two boys are extraordinary. Whenever someone says, ...'this is a film for the whole family' you usually want to run the other way. Not so with, "Into The West." Yeah, gather all the kids 'round the TV and roll the tape. Everyone will love it. It packs a strong emotional punch at the finish and I was so sorry the film actually ended.
A journey to Tir Na Nog August 21, 1999
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
In Irish mythology, Tir Na Nog is the home of eternal youth. Which is fitting, because "Into the West" is a movie for those of us who remain young-at-heart. That may sound cheesy, but my 6-year-old brother couldn't sit still long enough to pay attention the first time we watched this movie. My sister and myself, who were in our teens when it was first released on video, were completely captivated. In fact, the only thing remotely wrong w/ this movie is the way it was marketed when it hit theaters. The trailers didn't provide a clue as to what this film was about, or the magic it held. The 2 young boys are marvelous actors, and Gabriel Byrne is very good as their loving, if miserable father. The lyricism and fairytale quality to the film are spellbinding, and the ending may very well leave you tearing up. For a full evening of Irish folklore, watch this in a double-bill w/ "The Secret of Roan Inish."
A film between myth and reality August 17, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Someone, I've forgotten who, was reported to have reacted to the death of President Kennedy with the words "To be Irish is to know that the world will break your heart." This is true, but it is also true that to be Irish is to know that the world is not always as it seems. This is a story which resonates with both sentiments. The harsh contrast between the fantasy worlds of cowboys and Indians and Celtic mythology and the heartbreaking ugliness of life in council-house Dublin, the greed which can arise in the new "Celtic Tiger" Ireland and even the friendly but harsh life of the travellers make this tale of two small boys and their father and the effect on them of a white horse resound with mythic overtones. This truly beautiful horse belongs to the realm of Celtic myth, a classic example of a shape-changer, in this case very benign. That the horse is more than it seems is delicately conveyed by clever camera shots as well as by the storyline. If you fell in love with "The Secret of Roan Inish" you will probably like this, I certainly did.
