Unleavened Irish whimsy about two motherless lads and a magical white horse, on the run from civilization (etc.). The puckered-faced kids are all right, but the horse doesn't seem magical so much as the beneficiary of discreet and protective editing. Gabriel Byrne is the drunken Da, and Ellen Barkin turns up pointlessly as a gypsy. Written by Jim Sheridan; directed by Mike Newell. (1993) — Duncan Shepherd
