Horse Girl

I really enjoyed this movie, but when I got to the end I was surprised I'd already finished it because it felt like there was more to the story. It's definitely experimental, which I personally love. Some people feel Horse Girl is too weird or confusing but I think that's kind of the point, to make you feel like Sarah in a way.

We decided to go with "Horse Girl" a movie with a very generic name, that came out about 2 weeks ago and we knew almost nothing about.

The movie is playing with a lot of different genres, supposedly it's a thriller, but there was also a little bit of comedy and sci-fi in there. To my sisters big disappointment the movie really wasn't about horses. It's about mental illness. And it just works.

Somehow we found ourselves laughing at the movie, but also being saddened by it, because this is reality to some people.

I wont go into too many details of the movie, but I encourage you to watch it, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

This movie is not for anyone who wants a beginning, middle and end. This movie is fantastic, if u love cinema where things don't always make sense.

The mind is so complicating I often find myself psychoanalysing what my life means and what I'm doing. This movie takes that concept but interjects it into someone with a mental disease. I've seen this happen, it's soul crushing. The honest truth is you'll never know what someone else is thinking. I weep for all the homeless people that have mental problems. California is so messed up no one even cares.

This film is amazing. I wish Gavin newsome or Eric garcetti would watch to understand how negligent they are to mental health problems in my state. So sad seeing so many mentally ill people being ignored. Breaks my heart. 9/10. This film is a phenomenal work of art.

The film has potential with a strong lead, some good visuals and a nice soundtrack. The concept is interesting and to an extent, well represented.

Unfortunately all the supporting characters are... not great. Mostly by design, such as being almost deliberately stupid/negligent/ineffective in order to push the story in a certain direction.

What really ruins it however is the "make up your own mind ending" and the confessed motive behind it. Those two minutes completely nullify whatever was valuable about the portrait. Shame.

I really did try and want to like this movie. Im a huge Allison Brie fan and Deb Ryan fan and I love arty movies with a ending that leaves you guessing but... this just went overboard. The message they are trying to make gets too lost with the movie trying to be so "clever". If they are trying to send a message about mental illness it's definitely not clear enough. The director said in an interview he wanted to leave audiences guessing the ending but theres enough clues about the real meaning or the real ending and its so clear, sorry but no. Actually either ending whether its real or not has huge storyline holes in it that make either not make sense. This comes off as the director wanting to appear clever rather than it actually being clever and its too much. This would have been such a better and well liked movie if they reeled it in a bit. It just went too far and its a shame because it could have been great if they didnt go over the top with it
