Review of War Pony

War Pony (2022)
9/10
Becoming a man
30 May 2023
A very good first movie, which reminded me of Songs my brothers taught me. Many topics are addressed, but maybe the most important ones are a realistic representation of life on a Native American reservation, the trajectory of a teenager and a young adult, both hustling and navigating the duties, stereotypes and expectations of what it means to be(come) a man. Physically speaking, Bill reminded me of Eros Ramazzotti when he was in his early 20s.

The actors are amazing and the plot quite surprising. I also enjoyed a few magical/poetic moments in this dramatic film. There is so much empathy towards the main characters and their struggles, it is in many ways a moving and eye opening movie.
