Additional InformationThis fifth feature adaptation of Anna Sewell's classic 1877 novel comes to life, told from the point of view of Black Beauty himself -- who narrates the film. Set in England, Black Beauty (who has a British accent) tells us the details surrounding his birth, his "colt-hood", and his perception of humans, since he has various owners throughout his life. While some of these proprietors are caring and compassionate, others prove to be cruel and crude to the vulnerable Beauty, often placing him in life-threatening situations -- which he may or may not survive.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Rapturously pretty and filled with surprising passion....Thewlis is an arresting, eerily authentic actor..., Entertainment Weekly - ...The elegant cast works well and sincerely.... Girls will inevitably love all this..., Rolling Stone - ...The film is stunningly beautiful and affecting..., Common Sense Media - A harrowing and Beauty-ful version of the book.
