Warhorse One (2023)
10/10
Simply WOW

Warhorse One follows a desperate civilian rescue attempt set after the 2021 withdrawal of the United States military from Afghanistan and is dedicated to the dedicated child suffering of war..

I watch and review a LOT of media - film and audio and written and I am not even going to comment on the ridiculous low ratings on this film....... so unfortunate and not deserved. No grounds for it at all. Shame on these mindless comments.

This film is pure magic. Let it be said I HATE this sort of film generally - those that cover just a few brief moments of time and nothing really happens over the two hours. But I just watched a minute as I had run out of things to view and I was sucked in completely into the vortex of experience that this film creates. I will never forget this film...... it is completely unique and important in its themes.......

All the cast is pure magic but where did Athena Durner come from playing 5 year old Zoe Walters with such realism and heart and soul. This is her acting debut and this tiny powerhouse is one to watch.

Johnny Strong's portrayal of Master Chief Mirko promises to be a compelling addition to his impressive body of work. Rarely does one see subtle movements and nuances of expression create such a captivating watch. He makes his Directorial debut in this film.

There has to be a personal story here - it is just too perfect to be fully imagination. The cinematography, musical score, sweeping scenery, pacing. Everything is perfection.

If it does not win awards there is no longer justice in the film world!
