Audience Reviews for Into the West

  • Dec 11, 2011
    This one was a bit confusing. It is based on some Irish folklore that is at times hard to follow and/or understand. The kids were cute, and their relationship with the horse was adorable. The story itself was charming enough, but I think that some of the translation was lost somehow. Cute enough, though, for light entertainment...

    Silly little film about Gabriel Byrne and his screen children. Shouldn't be watching by anyone over the age of 10.
