Brie's performance is powerful and the film's editing does a superb job of mixing Sarah's obscured perception with reality, succeeding in offering an unsettling look into the mind of someone who suffers from a severe mental illness. Go to Full Review

3/5
Brie is rawly convincing as a troubled woman for whom the sides of reality have become too slippery, transformed into the heroine of a private sci-fi melodrama. Go to Full Review

Brie's performance is open and honest and disturbing and funny and lovely and resonant. Go to Full Review

Festooned with beads and fabrics, Horse Girl is visually inventive and ultimately succeeds on the grounds of Alison Brie's unwavering and longtail commitment to playing more than just the pretty girl. Go to Full Review

Gabriel T @GabrielFagundes Oct 11 It's sad and detailed. It makes you wonder about what's real or not See more Yasmina T Aug 18 not a must watch, but a good watch, slow second half, skippable moments, loose plot towards the end, good ending tho. See more 11/30/2024 Absolutely love this film See more Annie S 07/08/2024 I watched this movie when it first came out and it stuck with me. I think about it a few times a year. The concepts in it. The premise. The acting was really great. I’m rewatching it and I realized I need to leave a review. I can’t seem to forget this movie. It’s really well done. It’s weird—-in a horse girl weird way. See more Peach S 06/20/2024 Mixes the concepts of reality in the slow spiral to madness while still leaving you question if you should be on her side See more sietske v 04/29/2024 Weird movie, there was no great plot or a moment where they explain the movie to us. I did not enjoy See more Read all reviews
