Full Plot Details

Chinese-Canadian Eve Eng was born in 1966, in the year of the fire horse. In Chinese culture, fire horse children are notorious for being troublesome. In 1975, nine year old Eve is looking for some meaning for her life, especially after her mother, May-Lin Eng, miscarries, and her paternal grandmother passes away, the latter event particularly concerning not so much for the event itself but the circumstances leading to the death. The Engs follow traditional Buddhist philosophy, primarily as a cultural tradition. While her husband Frank Eng is away in China dealing with his mother's burial, May-Lin doesn't stop their eldest daughter, Karena Eng, from pursuing knowledge of and eventual faith in Christianity, most specifically Catholicism. May-Lin sees it as a cushion for ensuring a good life and good after-life, as much of Christian teaching follows that of Buddhism anyway. Eve follows in her sister's footsteps. While Karena becomes a devout Catholic to the expense of her Buddhist upbringing, Eve takes whatever she can from wherever she can to apply to her life for it to make sense, often with disastrous or confusing results. It isn't until she comes face to face with the fire horse that life becomes a little more understandable for Eve.

Movie Reviews

TheMovieChicks.com - 8/10 by Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThe beliefs of children are so absolute and pure, from the dreadful feeling that they can be responsible for a death to the joy of believing a statue can come to life at night and goldfish can sing opera.
EricDSnider.com - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderA remarkably good-natured and gentle film about spirituality's place in a family's life.
San Francisco Chronicle - 6/10 by Mick LaSalleAt times Eve plays like an unshaped memoir. What makes the film almost satisfying is that [director] Kwan has given us a charming and lovingly realized world. But halfway is still only halfway.
Variety - 6/10 by Ken EisnerBoth a finely wrought period piece and a slice of delicately captured childhood.
Jam! Movies - 6/10 by Liz BraunAn endearing memoir of childhood and of a certain time and place of innocence.
Toronto Star - 6/10 by Susan WalkerEve & the Fire Horse has a kind of poetry that lifts it above the typical drama of immigrant life and gives [Kwan's] characters a lasting poignancy.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 5/10 by Dorothy WoodendFire Horse is a nice enough film, but at the risk of being a curmudgeon, I am hard pressed to see what all the fuss is about. In this fashion, it is intensely Canadian, nice without being too much of anything else.
User Review - 10/10 by Jenny YThis is a wonderful movie about two young Chinese girls discovering and understanding religion while trying to fit in at a Catholic school. VERY GOOD movie!
User Review - 10/10 by Thomas PQuite possibly THE best movie I have ever seen. It touches on the clash of religions and does a wonderful job of portraying the views of two innocent young girls, which both teach us some very important lessons.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul MFasicinating thoughts on how tragedy, faith, and imagination uniquely transforms the lives of two sisters. Also offers a unique insight into a Canada's fringe groups in the mid 20th century.
