Black Beauty

About This Movie

So, Black Beauty (2020)—it’s an interesting take on the classic story. The atmosphere is quite reflective, with a lot of focus on the bond between the horse and the girl, Jo Green. It’s not just your typical horse film; there's a real exploration of freedom and the challenges of life. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but the emotional beats land well. The performances are solid, especially from the girl, who brings a lot of spirit to her role. You can really feel the connection they have. Visually, it has some nice landscapes, though some practical effects could’ve been better. Still, it carries a certain charm that makes it stand out in the modern adaptations of animal stories.
