    Editorial Reviews

    Mike Newell directs Jim Sheridan's screenplay (based on a story by Tim Palmer) in this enchanting and magical modern-day fairy tale. Gabriel Byrne plays Papa Reilly, a widower who lives with his two young sons, Ossie (Ciaran Fitzgerald) and Tito (Ruaidhri Conroy), in the slums of Dublin. There seems to be no hope for their bleak existence until the children's grandfather (David Kelly) arrives. Accompanying him is a beautiful and imposing white stallion named Tir na nOg, a magical creature from ancient Irish legends. The stallion takes a shine to the boys and they love the horse in return. But a legion of corrupt police plot to impound the horse for the purpose of selling it to a rich businessman. Ossie and Tito sneak off to rescue Tir na nOg. Grabbing the stallion, they get their father and, as the police chase after them, they make their way west. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

    January 30, 2006: I first saw this when I was about 17 years old and have loved it every since. I just watched with my husband at 26 still love it! It has no draw backs and its great for kids!!! Moving story, great Irish landscapes, good actors (Gabriel Burns), and tons of fun as two irish boys go on the biggest adventure of their lives! I just wish I could get the soundtrack for it.

    August 28, 2004: The musis grabs you with its haunting sound. The visuals effect you with their contrast of poverty and beauty. The acting is first-class. Truly a family favorite.
