This movie is mysterious, mythical, and magical. The majestic white stallion leads the two young brothers and their Papa back into the past to resurrect memories of their dead mother and then to allow them to "let her go." The stallion's role in the movie is what kept me wondering. Papa says at one point, "Why is that stallion always leading us to places where we've been?" I love this movie. The boys are wonderful! From the slums of Dublin to the wondrous Irish countryside, the film captured my rapt attention.
