    Two Guys, Two Girls and a Pizza Horse

    Wait...what?? That's how I felt after watching this movie. It does tell a story, but it is very, very basic and simple. That is the point, however. Think...well, the opposite of a Marvel movie.

    What's wrong with the cameraman?

    The image is shaking all the time, like the camera is too heavy to handle. Use a tripod next time. This way of filming gives me an headache.

    Confused

    I need some point of reference!

    In this movie there is no place, no time, no character building of consequence.

    Yes, I was lost. Watched the whole movie without a clue!

    Too slow, too dull

    I really tried watching this but it was just incredibly slow. I may have made it to the 30 minute mark and didn't bother skipping ahead. The characters weren't interesting enough to care about and I couldn't seem to care enough to find out what happened in the end. Maybe it's me or I wasn't in the right mood for a slow burn movie. Maybe you'll have better luck.

    Unconventional

    This movie abandons traditional narrative structure and, instead, seems to read like a visual interpretation of a poem. Characters come and go, strain within the most tenuous of relationships, questions remain unanswered, and dialogue is spare to see the least. With each character sketched more so than developed, I can understand the hostile reaction of most reviews here. But 'The Wanting Mare' is a consistently beautiful and gentle experience and, if a western visual education can be abandoned, there is much with which to be rewarded.
