INTO THE WEST (1992) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Mike Newell

Written by - Jim Sheridan, David Keating, Michael Pearce

Starring - Gabriel Byrne, Ellen Barkin, Ciarán Fitzgerald

"A family of members of the Irish travelling community tries to get back their beloved stallion Tir na nÓg after he was illegally sold off of them by the cops. Though the film can come across as an interesting commercialised portrait of the Irish travelling community and the magic of Irish legend storytelling, in reality it has an underwhelming plot and many cheesy moments that seem to row against the initial premise and any expectations the film may have carried."
