DAISY EDGAR-JONES, JACOB ELORDI AND WILL POULTER STAR IN ROMANTIC PERIOD DRAMA WHERE CHARACTERS RISK EVERYTHING IN THE PURSUIT OF FORBIDDEN LOVE
-
ON SWIFT HORSES (15) ★★★★☆ REVIEWS BY DAMON SMITH
SECRETS and lies breed like rabbits in On Swift Horses, a sensitively handled portrait of conflicted morality and repressed desires, adapted by screenwriter Bryce Kass from Shannon Pufahl’s novel.
Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi and Will Poulter headline the slow-burning romantic drama set in the immediate aftermath of the Korean War, when same sex relationships were conducted behind closed doors to avoid violent repercussions and damning moral judgment.
