Reviews


100
Time - Richard Corliss
In his most painterly film, Spielberg has appropriated the lavish visual palette of John Ford movies: "The Quiet Man" for the rural settings, "The Horse Soldiers" for the war scenes. Boldly emotional, nakedly heartfelt, War Horse will leave only the stoniest hearts untouched.

Observer - Rex Reed
War Horse is a don't-miss Spielberg classic that reaches true perfection.
91
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
This is a beautifully built, classically framed movie, shot with the unshowy natural expressiveness of a John Ford Western by Spielberg's great cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski.
80
Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
What's missing, then? There's no fiery central performance in the mix (the horse doesn't count), and once Emily Watson's hardscrabble mom is rotated out of the action, you yearn for an anchor.

Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
For certain movies, the adjectives "formulaic" and "predictable" are complimentary. War Horse is one of them.
