Oh dear. Yet another film about a 'plucky, clever' American child/woman finding herself in 'Oirland' - popping back and forth between the 'fairy world' and the real; it has something to do with horses (presumably to attract teenage girls?). As usual, the director has little idea about Ireland (I mean the real country, with its myriad traditions and its imagery) and has invented 'Ireland', which is populated by gawms and stereotypes and always looks curiously like the American version of … England, only with funny accents.

Americans sans passports will love the film, as it will reinforce their skewed perspective of just about any other country.

The only plus I can think of is that parts of it were filmed in Ireland and presumably lined the pockets of a few locals.

Only six reviews entered to date is surprising. This movie was made in 2014 so one would have expected more reviews. The legend was nice, but the acting by some adults was inapt and childish. The children, on the other hand, were fairly good with excellent acting by the lead girl (Lucy Morton). She played the role of an 11 year old girl, yet at the time when the movie was made she was already 20, which was kept a secret from the crew. Nevertheless the movie was poorly produced and better editing could have improved the show overall. But still the horses were beautiful and saved the day with a star rating of 5 being my contribution.

You can tell the filmmakers were passionate about this project, and it has something for everyone. As someone that moved several times as a child, I felt a lot of sympathy for the single-mother family moving to a foreign land, and the actors play their roles convincingly. For me what made this film great was the attention paid to the supporting characters, who could have easily been flat if left to stereotypical clichés. The gold-digging bridezilla and the bumbling mayor and his inept sidekick jump out. The pacing is also excellent: the film does a good job jumping from subplot to main plot, and will keep adults engaged as well as the target demographic. All the horse riding scenes make me want to move to the Irish countryside. This is wholesome family viewing at its finest.
